On World Health Day, we’re reminded that for too many patients. especially women, spend years being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told their pain is “normal.”

Conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis, and chronic pelvic pain are complex, often invisible, and frequently misunderstood.

At the core of better health outcomes is one simple shift:
Believe patients. Then dig deeper.

Because early diagnosis, specialized care, and a whole-person approach don’t just improve symptoms, they change lives.

Your pain is real. Your health matters. And you deserve more than “just deal with it.”

April shines a light on two often misunderstood conditions: Adenomyosis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), both impacting daily life in ways many people don’t see or fully understand.

For those living with adenomyosis, it’s more than “bad periods.” It’s chronic pain, heavy bleeding, fatigue, and a body that doesn’t feel predictable.

For those with IBS, it’s not “just a sensitive stomach.” It’s navigating discomfort, triggers, and disruption to everyday routines.

And for some, these conditions are actually misdiagnosed endometriosis.

This month is about:
Believing patients
Understanding the complexity
Advocating for better care and research

Because living with invisible conditions shouldn’t mean being invisible.

The start of the 2026 Endometriosis Summit

Catching up with my favorite colleagues from Boston Dr. Antonio Gargiulo and Dr. Luciana Chamie, my favorite pelvic floor physical therapist from Northern California Holly Sanneman and other incredible colleagues coming together to have the important conversations on Endo.

Endometriosis doesn’t just stay in the uterus.

It can grow on the bowel.
The bladder.
The diaphragm.
Even the nerves.

This is why some patients have pain with bowel movements.

Pain with urination.
Shoulder pain.
Sciatic pain.
Chest pain that flares with their cycle.

It’s not “just cramps.”
It’s a whole-body inflammatory disease that can travel far beyond what most people realize.

If you’ve been told your symptoms are unrelated, exaggerated, or “normal,” you deserve a deeper evaluation.

Endometriosis is complex. Your care should be, too.

03/23/2026

Hormonal birth control can lower the intensity of symptoms.

It does not eliminate the underlying disease.

Symptom control and disease removal are not the same thing.

Patients are not dramatic. They are exhausted from advocating for care they should have received sooner.

Endometriosis does not magically disappear with age.
Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory disease.

When left untreated, it can progress. Lesions can deepen. Scar tissue can form. Organs can become tethered together. Pain can intensify.

Waiting it out is not a treatment plan.
If someone told you your symptoms would fade with time, you deserve a second look and a real conversation about options.

Endometriosis is not a phase.

It’s a medical condition that requires informed care.

Happy International Women’s Day!
This year, for and Endometriosis Awareness Month, we want to support and amplify the voices of all women with .

Endometriosis effects 1 in 10 women but still takes an average of at least 7-10 years to get a diagnosis.

This March we honor women who were told their pain was normal, the women who kept showing up anyway, the women who demanded better answers, and the women who refused to accept dismissal as care.

Advocate, support and listen to women, today and every day.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. 💛
That yellow ribbon is more than a symbol.
It represents:

• 1 in 10 women living with endometriosis
• An average 7–10 year delay in diagnosis
• Pain that is often dismissed, minimized, or misunderstood
• Patients advocating for answers they should have received years earlier

Awareness is not just about wearing yellow.
It’s about listening to patients.
It’s about earlier diagnosis.
It’s about proper surgical training.
It’s about evidence-based excision surgery when appropriate.
