Endometriosis occurs when the tissue that lines the uterus grows on other pelvic organs, such as the ovaries or fallopian tubes.  This condition affects up to 10% of reproductive age women.  It can be quite painful and lead to fertility issues. In this episode, Dr. Jackie breaks down what it is, common causes, how it is diagnosed, what the different stages mean, how it can affect fertility, and what the treatment options are.  For those suffering from pelvic pain, painful periods, discomfort during bowel movements or urination, painful intercourse, inter-menstrual bleeding or infertility, this episode is a must-listen.    Produced by Dear Media.
