Teens & Endometriosis: How Early Signs Get Ignored


Listen Later

Teenagers should not be missing school, sports, or social events because of period pain, but many do. Endometriosis often starts in the teenage years, yet most girls are told their pain is normal or just part of puberty. In this episode, we discuss:

  • The early warning signs of endometriosis in teens
  • Why doctors dismiss young girls and delay diagnosis
  • Why birth control alone is not a solution
  • How early diagnosis can improve long-term health outcomes

  • If you or someone you know is experiencing severe period pain, early diagnosis can make a difference. Message me for help finding an endometriosis specialist.
