Dr. Vand and Dr. Aliabadi: Endometriosis and Painful Periods

www.draliabadi.com

Dr. Thais Aliabadi discusses endometriosis: why it’s often undiagnosed, non-invasive treatment options and how it can impact fertility.

Education is key when it comes to endometriosis. Many gynecologists and primary care doctors misdiagnose endometriosis or write-off a woman’s symptoms. Know that painful periods are not ok!

Average age of diagnosis is 32 years old and on average it takes seven to eleven years to get diagnosed. This is because endometriosis patients are complicated and require extra time in the clinic and most doctors cannot spend this extra time with patients.

Endometriosis is the most common cause of infertility. Dr. Aliabadi says, “There is nothing more devastating than a woman who wants to start a family and can’t get pregnant. That is why endometriosis has become my passion.”

Fortunately there are treatment options available, many of which are non-invasive. The most important thing is to get to the point of accurate diagnosis. And sooner rather than later, you don’t want to get to the point where the damage caused by endometriosis is irreversible.
