The TEA ☕️ on being a Christian Virgin Waiting for Marriage (PT 13 - Pelvic Floor Dysfunction 😭)

Welcome back to Adara’s Altar! This is definitely a possible TMI, but this series again is for the sole purpose of visibility for virgins waiting for marriage in modern society (especially in the Western world where it is not as common). This episode goes specifically out to the virgin/wedding night virgin girls and their husbands or soon-to-be husbands (for education on their wives). (My memory on my last two cycles is hazy so I’m not going to promise all the details in this vid are accurate about that but I’ve definitely been struggling with nausea and abdominal pain lately 🫤) Another story I meant to mention in the video but I think I forgot from embarrassment was that part of being a virgin who endured endometriosis and adenomyosis that led to pelvic floor dysfunction was that I was never able to use tampons. I believe I tried tampons twice in my life if I remember correctly at my mother’s encouragement (I may have still been a teenager), and upon using the second one I fell unconscious from my body responding poorly and hit my head on I think it was a metal drawer knob in the bathroom of my grandma Carmen’s old house. Walking in obedience in keeping your virginity until wedlock is not always easy - I know this from experience - and this is why education and visibility for virgins matters. Thank you for listening to my story! (On what I said about my birth, I said it was a subchorionic hematoma my mom experienced giving birth but there are different hematomas and I don’t know if hers was a subchorionic one - it was defo a hematoma, though, and my Grandma Carmen featured earlier on this channel was a witness 🤷🏽‍♀️.) Also, I wanted to take this opportunity to publicly thank my excision surgeon Dr. Maria Victoria Vargas for treating me in 2024 as it truly did improve my life in a lasting way to get stage II endometriosis removed (so she was the one who told me I had pelvic floor dysfunction). I don’t share all her political views, but specifically regarding the matter of my excision surgery and her compassionate care for me during my process of getting diagnosed and treated for endometriosis, I am thankful I was able to find her after a long search of many years and get the treatment I needed to get delivered the disabling pain I was enduring (she was the first doctor to believe what I was experiencing was endometriosis). Going through my cycle has been tough recently, but it has absolutely never gotten as bad as it was pre-excision. Dr Vargas: https://icarebetter.com/endometriosis...
