The Women's Mosaic: Dr. Shanti Mohling Part 1 7-28-26

Endometriosis, the “Hidden” Illness

An estimated 1 in 10 women have a painful condition known as endometriosis. In spite of how common it is and the enormous suffering endured by those with this disease, diagnosis takes an average of 7 to 10 years. Often mistaken for IBS, fibroids, UTIs, PID, and ovarian cysts, tragically treatment and fertility care can be delayed for years. In Part 1 of this two part episode, Portland-based, nationally-recognized expert Dr. Shanti Mohling explains what endometriosis is, its diagnosis and which treatments are effective.
