Endometriosis is a complex condition that can affect more than just menstrual cycles. It may cause pelvic pain, GI symptoms, urinary symptoms, bloating, infertility, and other quality-of-life concerns. 

In this episode of In Full Bloom: A Women’s Health Podcast, Joan Blomquist, MD, Chair of the Department of Gynecology at GBMC, is joined by Christine Helou, MD, minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon at GBMC, and host Mary Beth Marsden for a conversation about endometriosis. They discuss what endometriosis is, why diagnosis can be delayed, common symptoms, treatment options, and why a multidisciplinary approach can be so important for women living with this chronic condition.
