Why is endometriosis pain and symptoms still being dismissed?
I recently learned that the beautiful endo fighter, Aubrion Roger passed away after complications following emergency surgery. After reading her story, my heart broke for her and her family. So, why is endometriosis pain and symptoms still being dismissed? In 2022, when 1 in 10 women are affected with the chronic, debilitating condition of endometriosis, why aren’t we being taken seriously! Why are there only approximately 100 endometriosis specialists that are skilled in advanced laparoscopic surgery? Just like Aubrion, so many of us find ourselves being dismissed at our doctor’s appointments, urgent care visits, or even emergency rooms. We go to these places seeking help for the pain and symptoms. The result is to be dismissed.
