In a video posted on Youtube on November 30, Elsa Dasc, a reality TV candidate confided in her fight to have a child, and in particular the surgeries that punctuate her attempts. A course that is heavy and difficult for his body.
Because the stars now share their whole life through social networks, Youtube and Tik Tok, the latter serve more and more regularly as a platform to discuss health problems without taboo. This is what Elsa Dasc, a reality TV candidate (The Princes of Love 6, The Villa of Broken Hearts 3…) did on November 30, who wanted to answer a personal question that we regularly asks her about a future pregnancy. “I have struggled privately for 1.5 years with fertility. Having a child will never be easy for me” she replied sincerely.
“My vagina has quadrupled in size”
The young woman had already explained in an Instagram post last August:
“It all started when I discovered, through an ultrasound, that I had inflamed tubes. From there, countless appointments were linked to arrive at this operation ‘laparoscopy hysteroscopy which allows the tubes to be unblocked. We discovered after that that I had partial endometriosis, which we managed to remove with a 3-hour operation.“.
In her new video posted on November 30 on Youtube, Elsa Dasc spoke more precisely about the hardships and the consequences that this surgery had on her health, in particular a hemorrhage which left her in anguish. “Blood had spread through my body, around my liver because a blood vessel had burst. Fortunately, the surgeons managed to stop the bleeding in time, but the problems continued.
So she talks about other physical problems in front of the camera: “Big bruises all over my body, but also – it’s not going to be glamorous at all – my vagina quadrupled in size and turned into a kinda purple, blue color, it was very ugly to see.”
Salpingitis caused by endometriosis
Consulted by Doctissimo on the case of this young woman, Dr. Bruno Deval, gynecological surgeon evokes a probable case of complicated salpingitis.
“We call salpingitis an inflammation of the tubes. This can have three origins: an infectious origin, (often a sexually transmitted disease or STD which develops quietly), endometriosis which may have reached the tubes, or a post-surgical, nosocomial cause.”
While infectious salpingitis is generally treated with antibiotic treatment, Elsa Dasc here seems to fit into the second case of salpingitis, she has partial endometriosis:
“In this case, the endometriosis mimics salpingitis, it is not an infection, but the proliferation of the endometrium, the mucous membrane that lines the uterus, which can inflame and reach the fallopian tube.“ evokes the surgeon.
However, the treatment in this case is indeed surgical.
“But the treatment is already to make the diagnosis, which can be complicated. This requires above all an appointment with his gynecologist and an essential clinical examination. In the event of inflammation of the fallopian tubes, in a woman aged 20 to 40, we always plan for a laparoscopy, to take stock, because we know that salpingitis can impact the fertility of women. Then we decide on the medical treatment.”
If the cause is found to be endometriosis, a uterine endoscopy or hysteroscopy will also be scheduled.
A course, made of medical appointments, hospitalizations and notable adverse effects, far from being serene for a young woman who still hopes for a natural conception. “The second healing is going quite well, I just hope that my fallopian tubes are unblocked because apparently it’s a rather capricious organ and suddenly it can fill up, but here it is, fingers crossed again“, she concludes.
