    About this audiobook

    Endometriosis materializes when the endometrium-the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus-sheds, but does not exit a woman's body during her period. Instead, it grows outside of the uterus, spreading to organs and nerves in and around the pelvic region. The resulting pain is so physically and emotionally insufferable that it can mercilessly dominate a woman's life. The average woman with endometriosis is twenty-seven years old before she is diagnosed. It is one of the top three causes of female infertility. The pain it emits can affect a woman's career, social life, relationships, sexual activity, sleep, and diet. It is incurable, but highly treatable. Unfortunately, though, it is rarely treated in a timely manner, if at all, because of misdiagnoses and/or a lack of education among those in the medical community.

    This book gives hope to everyone connected to endometriosis. That includes every woman and young girl who has it, and the women and men in their lives who know something is wrong, but do not know what it is or what to do about it. This book is written at a level that everyone with ties to this disease can relate to and understand, but it is also for doctors with good intentions who lack the knowledge of how to diagnose or treat it.

      The book is not bad, but states old and incorrect theories about endometriosis. Thus I would suggest people rather read ‘How to endo’ by Bridget Hustwaite, to get am accurate overview on the disease and treatment options as well as management strategies

      Hysterectomy does not treat endometriosis. Retrograde menstruation does not cause endometriosis. Both are true because endometriosis cell are SIMILAIR but NOT equal to the cells of the uterine lining the endometrium.

      This book might be validating for people in pain. But the information mentioned in the book is NOT up to date with current research and thus I don’t recommend reading this book, unless you want to read a lot of patients stories and how the Dr helped them get back to a semi ‘normal’ life.

      What an amazing caring doctor who listens to his patients. It was very easy to listen to and to understand. English is my second language, but that was never an issue for me. I now know what questions to ask and what I should try to avoid.
