Limitations of Treatment

Season 2023 Episode 1 | 4m 41s

Treatments for endometriosis are difficult to navigate and often come with side effects. First, patients are often offered pain medication and hormonal medications. These medications are band-aids that do not treat the underlying disease. Then, they are offered surgery, yet most OBGYNs are ill-equipped to provide the advanced surgery necessary to properly treat endometriosis.
