This post-90s American girl is breaking through the field!
You know, she only had an operation last April and is still recovering. Based on her recent Grand Slam performances, she seems to be regaining the feeling of the game.
Danielle Collins' story of being strong, training hard and being actively healed has become a role model for many women!
Danielle Collins said: "After I've been through the pain of illness, I can't get back to my previous highest level, but I can at least race. These victories mean a lot to me! “
Tough treatment process
If you know Danielle Collins better, you know that she started fighting endometriosis early in her career.
It takes an average of several years for the disease to be diagnosed.
She underwent multiple ultrasounds and laparoscopic examinations before doctors found a tennis-sized cyst in the young woman's abdomen.
In April 2021, the tennis player was forced to shelve her career in order to undergo surgery for endometriosis.
She said in August 2021: "Before this surgery, I always had to adjust my training according to my cycle. The unbearable pain during my period made it impossible for me to live a normal life, let alone train. ”
A few times I had to give up the race because my uterus had flipped in place, so there was pressure on the sciatic nerve, causing me to feel pain from my back to my feet.
The long period of suffering from illness meant that I had to quit tournaments on a regular basis because my body did not allow me to train or compete normally. ”
Reborn
So, this surgery was a real relief for Danielle Collins! The first is to her life as a woman, but also to her life as a female athlete.
"It's a world of difference compared to my previous experience," she says. I don't have to worry about my period anymore, how it will affect my life, how I should adjust my training time, etc.
However, it will take time to get back to the best level and I have to do a lot of rehabilitation to regain the strength I need to race. ”
For everyone, her return to the game is intimidating, as many of the movements in the game require a lot of strength and may affect her recovery.
But anyway, in less than a year of recovery, Danielle Collins has achieved very brilliant results at the Grand Slam!
The fungus was touched by her spirit of insisting on not being discouraged, and looked forward to her next performance!
Endometriosis?
It is a disease in which endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, and it is accompanied by severe pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and infertility.
Globally, about 10% (190 million) of women and girls of childbearing age suffer from the disease.
The disease was discovered in 1860, but little is known, and under-diagnosis and poor treatment affected one in ten women in France, more than 2 million French women, whose diagnosis was diagnosed on average after seven years.
At present, there is no way to prevent the occurrence of endometriosis in the world. Awareness-raising, coupled with early diagnosis and management, may be able to slow or stop the natural progression of the disease and reduce the burden of long-term tolerance of its symptoms.
Just a few days ago, the latest survey from Ifop showed that nearly 81% of French women neglect gynecological examinations, please poke: 81% of French women do not "take care of themselves", which is very dangerous!
French President Emmanuel Macron also spoke on social media about the disease: "We are launching hopes for a better quality of life for millions of women from a national strategy (pictured 👆 above)"
Bacteria hope that everyone is healthy and healthy, checks out on time, and protects themselves!
