autopsy after cb?

[amnotreal]

in the state where I live they say that an autopsy has to happen for suspected ctb or known ctb and for anyone found more than 24 hours after the fact. i have some awful undiagnosed medical condition or maybe it is all endometriosis growing in weird places since i have endometriosis diagnosed.

i don't want to harm my kids by ctb but if what i have is genetic and doctors never seem to grasp how bad it is or be willing to help then i probably hurt them more by not ctb since i cry so much and am in so much pain. i start to wonder if the only way to be a good mom is to ctb so an autopsy can figure out what is wrong.

everytime i go to the doctor and have more tests i feel more and more like i just need to ctb but i am such a coward. i don't want to hurt my kids ever but by being alive i am just a huge burden.

I'm sorry that you are suffering so much. Health conditions really can be awful as they are capable of torturing people. I can imagine that it must be unbearable being in so much pain. I wish you the best in whatever happens.

U can write a note , no autopsy,no social media,no newspaper etc. Respect the deceeced

Where I am from, an autopsy is automatically done if it is an unexpectant death. If someone has terminal cancer and passes away at home then no autopsy. But anything unexpected even though at times it can be obvious, still gets an autopsy

i want an autopsy if it helps get the correct diagnosis. i keep thinking it is the only way doctors will figure this out and only way to help my kid. i worry though that whatever is wrong wouldn't be found in autopsy. i am so sick of doctors.

In my country they only perform an autopsy in case of crime or fowlplay. So as I'm not an organ donor, what came with me, will go with me.

In most states in the US, the majority of deaths go before autopsy if you are under a certain age, foul play or suicide possible, or any unexpected deaths. With endometriosis, if you have a hysterectomy, that will fix the issue

That's not true (speaking as someone who has the condition) Endometriosis is where cells structurally similar to the uterine lining that sheds from the uterus as part of a woman period migrates and gets trapped in the body. The definition of endometriosis is outside of the uterus. A hysterectomy does NOT fix the issue as cells that migrated and manifested into scar tissue lesions and cyst will still respond and feed off your hormones regardless of whether your uterus is still there or not. A hysterectomy will cure adenomyosis which is when the uterine cells become embedded in the lining of the womb

@starryeyedgemini yes exactly about endometriosis. also I am already diagnosed with endometriosis so autopsy wouldn't find it and now I have a bunch more diagnosis and none of them have treatments or cures or anything to improve quality of life so now I am logged in here again. but now i don't want an autopsy so there is that.
