Many women live with endometriosis (Endo) and don’t even know it. Some women with Endo have pain.   Some have such debilitating pain, that they can’t even go to school or work when they get their periods… and they just live with it. Then, there are others who don’t experience pain at all.

Special guest Dr Prati Sharma, fertility specialist from CREATE fertility ( who we interviewed in episode 15 “Are Prenatal tests wrong”) took the time out of her day to be interviewed after emailing Mary to say we should educate people about Endometriosis because March is “Endo awareness month”  This is an episode that you do not want to miss because she did a kick ass job!

Endometriosis is something women may suffer from all year long, month after month so it’s important to learn all things endo any time. In this episode we’re talking about how to diagnose and treat it properly from a western medicine perspective.  Here are some of the hot Endo topics that she covers:

The Basics

What is endometriosis?
• Theories behind why people have Endo
• Best way to diagnose Endo?
• How does it impact pelvic pain?
• How does it impact a woman’s fertility?
