“PCOS & Endometriosis: The Hidden Pain Doctors Often Miss”
Manage episode 521371091 series 2993661
We expose why PCOS and endometriosis remain widely undiagnosed, how to spot the real signs, and what to demand from doctors to protect fertility and long-term health. Practical tools, from Rotterdam criteria to targeted treatments and fertility planning, turn confusion into action.
• PCOS prevalence, underdiagnosis, and misunderstood criteria
• Rotterdam criteria explained and applied without lab gatekeeping
• AMH, “string of pearls,” and the cysts misconception
• Mood, weight, disordered eating, and anovulation realities
• Four pillars of PCOS: brain signals, insulin resistance, inflammation, genetics
• Endometriosis pain rules, endobelly, dyspareunia, bowel and bladder signs
• Long-term damage, adhesions, ovarian reserve loss, miscarriage risk
• Why normal scans don’t rule out endometriosis
• Five fertility buckets to speed accurate assessment
• PCOS care: lifestyle, inositol, metformin, GLP-1s
• Endometriosis care: progesterone-first, IUDs, GnRH antagonists
• Egg freezing timing for PCOS and endometriosis
• Breast cancer lifetime risk tools and earlier screening
• System reform: separating OB from GYN to improve care
