About this listen
If you’ve been diagnosed with endometriosis, the big question is: What type of lesions?
In this episode, Lara challenges long-held assumptions to explore:
- the three types of endometriosis lesions,
- emerging evidence that superficial lesions may not explain pain or other symptoms,
- alternative explanations for pelvic pain and infertility, including pelvic congestion, immune dysfunction, and gut microbiome imbalance, and
- an update on the bacterial contamination hypothesis.
