Confused about PCOS and endometriosis? You’re not alone—and you might’ve been misdiagnosed. In this essential episode, Dr. Sadikah Behbehani, a double-fellowship trained reproductive endocrinologist and minimally invasive surgeon, sets the record straight.

She breaks down the real differences between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, explains how they can coexist without causing each other, and outlines the actual diagnostic criteria for PCOS. This conversation is critical for teens, adults, and parents trying to make sense of irregular periods, hormonal changes, or conflicting diagnoses.

What you’ll learn:
 • Why PCOS and endometriosis are often confused but are very different
 • How misdiagnosis happens—and how to avoid it
 • What the Rotterdam criteria are, and why they matter
• Why polycystic-appearing ovaries alone are not enough for a PCOS diagnosis
• The truth about irregular cycles in teens and when to be concerned
• When PCOS should be diagnosed—and when it shouldn’t
• How endometriosis and PCOS can impact fertility and treatment

Whether you're newly diagnosed or searching for answers after years of symptoms, this episode will give you science-backed clarity and validation.
