The human body honestly freaks me out. Like, there is so much about it we are still discovering that it’s crazy. And being a woman, the potential for something going wrong with us is even higher. Especially when we factor in menstrual health. Firstly it is such a taboo to discuss and secondly, it is so fickle that the slightest things can trigger it negatively. Hence I tend to be ultra paranoid and careful when it comes to my ovarian and menstrual health. This entire thought was inspired by a post by Lilly Singh about cysts being found in her ovaries and her experience with it.
Youtuber and comedian Lilly Singh took to Instagram and posted a video that shows her lying in a hospital bed with a mask on. The video has a text which read, “Learning there are cysts on my ovaries,” as she proceeds to roll her eyes at the camera. Watch the video here,

Lilly is known for her quick wit and really brilliant sense of humor. This can be seen in the caption where she tries to make light of the situation, pent the last day in the ER because my ovaries have the AUDACITY to be wilding out. Both of them have cysts. And I’m just out here like REALLY B?! Let me understand this. You’re going to make me suffer once a month and then IN ADDITION, stab me inbetween periods?! LOLOLOLOL. WOW. THE ENTITLEMENT… the NERVE. IM WEAKKKK…. No but actually. It hurts and I’m tired lol but I truly expect nothing less than my organs doing the most. After all I am their mother”.
While I tend to be pretty paranoid and concerned when it comes to menstrual and ovarian health, Lilly’s take on it and humour about it does make me feel better. However, this does not mean that a situation like this is to be taken lightly and should be spoken about to create awareness, just like Lilly Singh has.
