Endometriosis sucks! It affects 10-15% of women and there is no cure. It’s a painful condition where cells from the uterine lining end up outside of the uterus. Those cells can attach to your cervix, bladder, bowel or other organs. And they continue to be affected by your monthly cycles just like regular uterine tissue.
Sarah King talks to Dr. Adam Kansagor, an OB-GYN with Wake Med Health and Hospitals about symptoms, treatments, and why simply getting a diagnosis can be difficult.
