Endometriosis is often misunderstood and dismissed. In this episode of Ob/Gyn Time, host Erica Newlin, MD, is joined by Megan Billow, DO, to discuss what endometriosis is, common and lesser-known symptoms, how it's diagnosed, and the wide range of treatment options available—from medication and lifestyle changes to excisional surgery. They also highlight the importance of early evaluation, individualized care, and self-advocacy for anyone living with painful periods or chronic pelvic pain.
