The answer is, of course, too long. But I still want to know - how long did it take for you to get diagnosed with endometriosis?

Bloating, constipation, diarrhea—these aren’t just digestive issues.
For many people with endometriosis, gut problems are actually pelvic problems in disguise.
Gut health and endo are deeply connected. Inflammation in one area can trigger symptoms in the other.
That’s why I often recommend stool testing—it can reveal food sensitivities, bacterial imbalances, or inflammation making your endo worse.

Fertility isn’t just about eggs, it’s about inflammation, scar tissue, and timing.

Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility, but it’s not always obvious why.

Inflammation, adhesions, and ovarian cysts can all interfere with conception.

Here’s the hopeful part:
With the right diagnosis and treatment, especially skilled excision surgery, many patients go on to conceive naturally.

Fertility preservation isn’t just freezing eggs, it’s fighting the disease before it steals your options.

What fertility questions do you wish more doctors would answer honestly?

Pain doesn’t respect calendars. It doesn’t care if you’ve got plans, deadlines, or family commitments.
That’s why pacing yourself and setting boundaries is key.
You’re not lazy. You’re not letting people down.
You’re managing a chronic illness the best way you can—and that’s enough.

If September stress feels heavier with endometriosis—you’re not imagining it. Your body keeps score, and it’s asking for care. Today is a good day to slow down, relax and give your body and self some time to rest.

If your gut symptoms flare with your cycle—or nothing else seems to explain them—talk to a specialist who understands endometriosis. You deserve answers.

Mood swings, intense cravings, and unexpected breakouts in your 30s or 40s? These aren’t just annoying PMS or Perimenopause symptoms—they could be signs of something deeper.

Endometriosis is a full-body condition that impacts more than your reproductive system. Hormonal imbalances caused by chronic inflammation can lead to the same type of feelings and symptoms.

If you feel like your body is fighting against you, it might be time to dig deeper. You deserve real answers—not just another prescription.

Why should you get a stool test if you have endometriosis?

Because your gut and your pelvis are more connected than you think.

Many people with endometriosis also experience GI symptoms—bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nausea—that are often mistaken for IBS. A comprehensive stool test can help uncover hidden inflammation, bacterial imbalances, or food sensitivities that may be making your symptoms worse.

Understanding your gut health gives us another piece of the puzzle—and another way to reduce pain and improve quality of life.

Endo isn’t just a reproductive issue—it’s a whole-body condition.

08/18/2025

ER visits, missed work, canceled plans, and sleepless nights.

Now imagine being told, over and over again, that it’s all in your head.

This is the reality for far too many people living with endometriosis. Chronic pain doesn’t just affect the body—it wears down your mind, your confidence, your sense of self.

Mental health matters in chronic illness. Being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or gaslit by the medical system can lead to anxiety, depression, and trauma that lasts even longer than the symptoms.

To every patient who's been told to "just relax" or "tough it out"—I see you. You're not making it up. You're not weak. You're surviving something incredibly real and incredibly hard.

Endometriosis doesn’t always look like textbook period pain. If something feels off, it’s worth exploring.

Your symptoms are valid—even if they don’t “fit the mold.”

For many, periods with endo aren’t just “uncomfortable”—they're debilitating. Pain so severe it interferes with work, daily tasks, and basic quality of life.

Some countries have implemented menstrual leave policies which also includes reimbursement for medications, support for fertility preservation and the implementation of nationwide health guidelines. While it marks a major shift in how menstrual and reproductive health are addressed, others argue it could lead to more discrimination. But one thing is clear: we need to talk about it.

As an endometriosis specialist, I’ve seen firsthand how life-altering this condition can be.

So I’m asking you—patients, professionals, employers, advocates: What would real support look like?

Let’s open the dialogue.

08/08/2025

This is one of the most heartbreaking—and common—questions I get.

Too many patients with endometriosis are told their pain is “just bad periods,” that it’s in their head, or that they’re being dramatic. You are not. Your pain is real. Your experience is valid. And you deserve to be heard.

Start by trusting your instincts. Track your symptoms. Write them down. Bring someone with you if you can. Ask direct questions and don’t be afraid to say, “That answer doesn’t sit right with me.”

If a doctor minimizes your concerns, that’s not a reflection of your worth—it’s a sign to keep looking. Find a provider who specializes in endometriosis, who listens, who believes you.
You are not difficult. You are your best advocate.
