The No-BS Guide to Getting an Endometriosis Diagnosis
Did you know that it takes an average of 7-10 years to get diagnosed with endometriosis? That’s nearly a decade of pain, confusion, and medical dismissal before getting answers. If you suspect you have endo but haven’t been diagnosed yet, you’re not alone.
In honor of Endometriosis Awareness Month, I’m diving into why endo diagnosis takes so long, the roadblocks that stand in the way, and how you can advocate for yourself in the doctor’s office. Your pain is real, and you deserve to be heard.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
-Endo myths vs. truths – What misinformation is keeping women from getting diagnosed?
-Why endometriosis is hard to diagnose – The medical gaps and normalization that cause delays.
-Common roadblocks to diagnosis – From dismissed symptoms to being undetected on medical scans.
-How to advocate for yourself – Tips for being taken seriously by doctors.
-Supporting yourself beyond medical care – Managing stress while navigating chronic illness.
If you’re struggling to get diagnosed, I see you. I’ve been there. Keep pushing, keep asking questions, and don’t stop until you get the answers you deserve. You know your body best! If something feels off, it probably is—so be relentless in advocating for yourself. You are not alone. You are strong and worthy of care.
