Expert excision surgery is the cornerstone of #endometriosis care, but it often is not the end of the story. Healing from #endo requires a multidisciplinary approach. #rethinkendo #breakthecycle #endoeducation #endometriosisawareness #endoadvocate #excision

#endometriosis what is going on here is that we are creating a demand gynecology cannot meet at this time, it is my hope they will realized this and begin to bring more basic skills to the public and refer more complete stuff to teams

Any thoughts on why #endometriosis gets so left behind when it comes to research funding?

Bearing through endometriosis pain amounts to losing approximately 12 full-time work weeks in lost productivity per year. #endobythenumbers #efhou #rethinkendo #breakthecycle #bethechange #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #staggeringstatistics #staggeringstats

Why is it the first line management for horrific periods is to put a woman on contraception? No, I don’t want to pump my body full of hormones I don’t need thanks, please can you investigate the problem and fix it? ✌🏻

Even if there are no extensive studies my reccomendation is to avoid Ibuprofen especially if you are an older person at risk. We do not have time for long studies. #covid19 #coronavirus #ibuprofen
Scientists and senior doctors have backed claims by France’s health minister that people showing symptoms of covid-19 should use paracetamol (acetaminophen) rather than ibuprofen, a drug they said might exacerbate the condition ow.ly/5zMj50yNI9l

👏👏👏 We want to trust that the medications we take are going to be effective, that the treatments we undergo won’t do more harm than good, that prof associations and their guidelines, educators, & advocacy orgs are putting patients first, not industry. #endo #acog #aagl #pharma

#endometriosis growing popularity to call the new oral abbie vie drug "treatment", it is not treatment, it is a bandaid putting patients into low estrogen states while pushing the impact of that on down the patient's life span. no not treatment, may allow disease to worsen

#endometriosis it is shameful when a patient is refused adequate treatment in their own country, then go elsewhere for successful rx and relief, only to return home and find they are blackballed from seeking any future gyn care. What is that about?
