Episode Description

Endometriosis pain is not just bad cramps. It is a whole-body disease that affects the pelvis, bowels, bladder, nerves, and more. Yet, many women are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told their pain is just part of being a woman. In this episode, we discuss:

  • The different types of endometriosis pain, including pelvic pain, nerve pain, painful intercourse, and bowel issues
  • Why pain medications often do not provide relief
  • The reality of medical gaslighting and delayed diagnosis
  • Effective treatment options when you have tried everything for your pain. 

If you have been struggling with pain and feel unheard, this episode will provide clarity and direction.
