Description

 We’re back! It’s Endometriosis Awareness Month and I’m so pleased to share my conversation with Carla Cressy, the founder and CEO of the Endometriosis Foundation. Carla is a true force in the endometriosis community, helping others gain access to care and support and providing insight into the development of national health guidelines.

In this episode, Carla shares: 

• How difficult it was to get doctors to take her symptoms seriously
• How the focus on her bowel issues finally led to an endometriosis diagnosis 
• Her experience of medical and surgical menopause 
• How she managed her mental health when the pain was at its worst
• What she wants doctors to know about endometriosis 

Carla that there’s so much misinformation around endometriosis and that doctors need a better understanding of the patient’s perspective of living with this condition. 

Thank you, Carla!
