Listen Later

If you’ve been diagnosed with endometriosis, the big question is: What type of lesions?

  • emerging evidence that superficial lesions may not explain pain or other symptoms, 
  • alternative explanations for pelvic pain and infertility, including pelvic congestion, immune dysfunction, and gut microbiome imbalance, and 
  • an update on the bacterial contamination hypothesis.
