In this episode of Endo Battery Fast Charged, we dive into the ongoing delays in endometriosis diagnosis, emerging imaging tools like transvaginal ultrasound for superficial endometriosis, and how advocacy is shifting the standard of care.

Learn why most patients see up to 7 doctors and face years of dismissal before a diagnosis—and how that delay worsens pain and outcomes. We explore the latest research on imaging, the importance of recognizing all types of endometriosis, and why collaborative, patient-centered care is essential.

Featuring expert insights and patient advocates like Heather Guidone and Jenneh Rishe, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating endo or supporting someone who is.
