“Mae normaleiddio mislif poenus yn niweidiol a pheryglus. Fe ges i ddiagnosis cam 4 pan oeddwn i’n dal i fod yn fy arddegau, ac eto cafodd y peth ei ddiystyru yn ystod yr arddegau cynnar. Fe wnaeth fy athrawon, fy ffrindiau a’r gweithwyr meddygol proffesiynol ddiystyru’r peth. Wnaeth neb ddweud wrtha i na ‘nysgu i ynghylch beth yw mislif arferol neu beth yw’r arwyddion bod rhywbeth o’i le. Dyma pam fy mod i’n credu mor gryf mewn addysgu pob disgybl am les mislif er mwyn iddyn nhw fod yn ymwybodol o beth y mae angen iddyn nhw fod ar eu gwyliadwriaeth amdano o ran iechyd mislif. Mae’n bwysig ein bod ni’n rhoi blaenoriaeth i’n hiechyd mislif gymaint ag unrhyw ran arall o’n hiechyd corfforol.
“Normalising painful periods is detrimental and dangerous. I was diagnosed with stage 4 when I was still a teenager but yet was dismissed for years through my early teens. I was dismissed by my teachers, friends and medical professionals. I was never told or taught what a normal period should be or the warning signs to look out for if they were not. This is why I believe so strongly in menstrual well-being education being taught in schools to all pupils to make them aware of the importance of knowing what to look out for with your menstrual health. It’s important that we prioritise our menstrual health as much as any other part of our physical health.
