So if the patient has money they get quality time with the doctor. Now I understood, got it 👍🏼
@Joshua VanAllen is not about being a victim. Even if u go to school majority won’t be part of the elite that can “afford” quality healthcare. My motto is work as hard as you can even if that only gets u to middle class and u should have the right to good quality healthcare whether u are a kindergarten teacher or a self made millionaire (being dramatic here). No one is acting like a victim we, the working class, are simply asking for equal rights in healthcare.
@Joshua VanAllen It's so not about that! Everyone, poor or rich, should have good health care opportunities.
Right!? Awesome.. so I get to be broke and in massive amounts of pain for exactly half of every month. Fantastic lol
“Most gynecolocists don’t have time to listen about painful periods”.. wth?! It’s LITERALLY their job description! What the hell else do they have time for then!
she is stating thats how gynos feel. they truly behave in such a manner thou . even when you have sat down and discussed the fact that your child has endometriosis they still balk at you tell you its all in their head. been there heard that by 3 so called specialists. they just want u
on medications bc they get paid for each time u accept it. anyone who receives lupron or orilissa or visanne as treatment options just know thats a huge kick back that your specialist receives. whether it be lavish dinners , trips, other incentives . just watch how big of a hissy fit they throw when you tell them NO . my daughter has been passed down to another specialist each time she has refused. shes refused 4 times to take lupron again. & orilissa once and orilissa has never been tested on children 18 & under. my child is a minor and they wanted to do their own guinea pig testing trails on her. i cant imagine how many others have undergone the gaslighting from their specialists . its a sad world we live in.
Renee Redekop yea I’ve had bad an uninformed experiences with the doctors too. It’s mind blowing that gyns can know so little about endometriosis!
She had a good point though about how insurance is really to blame for that. They can only allow so much time for what our insurance pays for. So it seems that the real issue is our healthcare system and also just the fact that everything is so extremely expensive👎🏻
keepinitreal it’s so much worse than that even, I saw MULTIPLE gynos who told me I couldn’t have Endo because I had kids FALSE!! They also told me I couldn’t have it because I had a hysterectomy FALSE AGAIN!! actually many many women have had hysterectomies because their Gyno believed it would cure their endo and it does not!
They have time to collect their cash!!!!
Omg I'm damn near crying. She is describing my life!!!!! My doctors always just tried putting me on birth control and completely dismissed me. Some doctors give me advil... this is unreal.
Same here. 30 years later and I'm in the most severe pain and my life has been completely adversely affected by this. I asked for surgery and was told we had to try the IUD first. Most painful 2 weeks ever and I'm having it removed this week.
Honnie Bat-Kohen im glad in not the only one!!! It’s such a defeated feeling! 😭
I am so very sorry for all of you. I know what you are going through. Praying you get help you need asap.
My pain is giving such bad depression ! I’ve let go of my laundry cycling and stopped hanging out with my friends !! I guess I’ll try this damn iud even tho I can’t get the thought out of head that this is going to be the rest of my life . So depressing :(
@@KristenCAnderson try homeopathy sister........make changes in diet....
To the women reading comments here is my advise after dealing with this disease for over 2 decades: 1. Find an expert in Endo and leave you obgyn for Pap smears and routine things. OBGYNs do not spend enough time dealing with the disease to treat you properly. All they will do is put you on hormone after hormone while you deal with all the side effects. I went 10 years dealing with different OBGYNs that did nothing. This last August went to a specialist. By December, my endo was already removed and I am getting my pain under control. 2. Find an expert that also does EXCISION surgery. Having a laparoscopy done with ablation only will usually cause the endo to grow right back which is what my first OBGYN did. 3. It can be exhausting but in this society we are our own advocates. So don’t give up!!! You deserve to feel good and live life to it’s fullest. There are doctors out there that aren’t only in it for the money and will listen to you! If you have to drive 3 hours to get to a good doctor like I did, I tell you it is worth it!
i made a video on this topic and YT suggested this one and here I am.I was diagnosed with endo 4-3 surgeries,2 lost pregnancies, and 20 years later I finally managed to put my illness into remission naturally. IT IS POSSIBLE REGARDLESS WHAT,, GURUS,, TELLING YOU! NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF. And weight loss...for a long time i thought I am fat without realizing it was just a chronic inflammation-make anti-inflammatory diet a LIFESTYLE and watch the magic happens...not only you gonna lose weight, get rid of the pain and bloating but if you stick with it endo will become only a distant memory. It's my 3rd-year endo free! Sending lots of love to who ever reads this!
What I have to do I'm hurting as I type this😢
So what did you eat for anti-inflammatory diet so I know I could try it because I am suffering with stage four anything I could try
I haven't even watched this yet, but I had to come say that I am so very happy you are using your platform to bring attention to this! I've suffered for years, and after years of failed treatments attempts from BC, IUD, Lupron Depot shots, and pelvic pain management therapy, I finally found a doctor to go in and do surgery to excise what they could. I just got the news yesterday. Stay strong my fellow Endo Warriors!
I'm so happy to hear. xoxoxo
There are some things I disagree with what Dr Aliabadi says. Thankfully with endometriosis slowly becoming more known, I also think it's dangerous (and sad) to 'discuss' it without being completely informed about endo. I strongly believe Drs NEED to be more educated on the female anatomy surrounding periods and endometriosis. I've unfortunately talked to many drs who have said untrue things about endo INCLUDING gynos who specialise in Endo. Birth controls, iuds etc is ONLY a temporary treatment usually for uterine pain and or bleeding (common endo symptoms) BUT IT DOES NOT treat it. She didn't even discuss the ways endo is diagnosed and treated, and instead went straight into suggesting bcs. You're diagnosed with either stage 1-4 endo via a laparoscopic "keyhole" surgery and the BEST way to remove and treat it (and if done right by a "nook doctor" -read below), patients can be symptom free for YEARS) is by excision surgery. She also just referenced "zapping" which she means the ablation method of endo removal which ALSO doesn't remove endo, just the upper layer that can be seen to the eye and doesn't remove the root of endo like excision does + the occurrence rate of endo after excised by a proper specialist is less than 20% which is great. Ps im also not saying that excision is the only "cure" for endo as there is NO cure of the disease itself, rather LIMITING endo symptoms to the best it can (done first & foremost via proper excision removal of endo + hopefully all other pain inducing avenues like pcos is treated etc). Im just absolutely CRINGING at the fact she said "there is NO non-hormonal treatments for endometriosis", im sorry, but to make such a bold statement without being properly informed (irregardless of the fact that she had done this for years hence why i also said ive seen drs who specialise in this field sayings myths) is incredibly upsetting. Doctors DEFINITELY too need to be educated just as much as patients do.
PS- patients can be absolutely asymptomatic of this disease, meaning they have no textbook endo symptoms and can be diagnosed with stage 4 endo. A patient can be said to have "no endo" by 1 dr but when examined properly there is stage 4 endo present. This is why its SO important to see a Dr who KNOWS exactly what they're doing (and not just claim they've been doing it for years". I STRONGLY encourage for everyone who wants more accurate information about this to join the fb group "Nancy's Nook Endometriosis Education" (this is NOT a support group, only an endometriosis resource library and "nook drs" around the world who are highly trained in excision surgery of this disease is recommended-btw you MUST answer the questions prior to being accepted into the group as the page is only increasing in numbers and PLEASE follow the rules).
wow thank you
4o'clock Moonchild I’m currently trying to see a Nook doctor
4o'clock Moonchild - Everything you laid out is 100% factual. I've been dealing with so much pain and unfortunately for me I'm noticing the older I get, the worse my pain is. I'm now 46 and I have yet to find a doctor who I can trust but that seems to be the case for all types of doctors in my city. It's much talked about at the Mayo Clinic in a nearby state that the healthcare in my city is ranked as one of the worst in the US. The running joke when I worked at an insurance company was, if you want to die, go to a doctor office or hospital here. Anyway, I've been given all kinds of advice and I still feel discouraged. Thank you for the info about the endo resource library. I will have to check it out.
Yeah I just seen my genecologist today.... When I had got surgery my mother was informed that they told her they had wanted to start me on a treatment which is one shot every month for 6 months... But when I go to the office today it was a completely different situation.... It felt like and I can agree on her on that to have that she must have had so many other patience so we can I just sit there and wait for me to make a decision... That's the rub I'm thinking I was going into the office today to start this supposedly treatment iis and to go more into depth about what this treatment is.. but instead she brings up the marina IUD that she highly recommended.. since I have a as she said stage 1 to stage 2... Because I to deal with painful menstrual cycles trying to eat in or drink and I will just throw up..and my pain would be a sharp intense sometimes lingering from my book or vaginal region up to my abdomen , the movements etc and I'd always miss work unless not treated then it's kinda like suffer then .. yet I went to hospitals and they do their exams and say I don't see any issue even pelvic and give me pain medication but it's never a thought okay this person has a history....excuse me but do you have endometriosis which I NEVER heard of that before until my grandmother expressed concern because she has endometriosis when she was younger and had to be treated..so I had to go through three obgyns all female and the last one dismissed me because I was not properly taking my birth control pills because I switched off the depo that was making me irregular plus it's own side effects since I was a teenager to an 24 young adult today .. I tried to express my concerns and wanted to try another method she dismissed it but not a single one said hey sounds like endometriosis until I seen one obgyn HOWEVER again as I stated before she informed my mother of this treat they were wanting to do and that's what I thought my appointment today was supposed to be about .. instead I felt rushed and instead of what she originally informed my mother and she informed me after my surgery I was given options , marina because they always highly recommend it but with a 50% which did not make me feel confident or injection which causes early stage of menopause but being in a young 24 they do not want to do that due to more " major " side effects than the merina which she only discussed " irregular bleeding " or spotting but nothing else . I know everyone body is different that is just my main concern being with my prior birth control experience from depo to pills to back to depo because they told me either depo or IUD bit if I want the surgery to see if I have endometriosis and I said sure because it set in the back of my mind. And for me it made me feel frustrated and stress because I felt rushed or as if they're trying to as you stated push " certain " " treatment" upon you because as you stated it's beneficial for them with patients with such and I do hope to have a family later down the road , despite my preference . .
My other main concern is because I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome the beginning of this year which is becoming more advertised now after I was diagnosed and I did research with the " possiblity " for women it effecting their menstruation
4o'clock Moonchild it’s obvious that If it was a male issue there would be a cure
It really is factual I had my period average 5 times a month and I didn’t go on to birth control until 3 years ago and now I get some months no cycle other months part cycle but my pain is still there I have had it for 7 years now I use to pass out in my middle school days because the pain was that bad and still is
It's sad that if you don't have money, you can't get proper help.
only in usa we are fine
Dezeray Simpson America
nadiaxoxo wrong, in America the rich are fine, the poor are fucked
check my videos i am helping for free and I managed not only put my own endo into remission but also pulled 16 girls out of chronic illness.getting better is possible and there are still good people out there!
What's even more sad is even if you can afford insurance, it leaves you barely being able to afford regular appointments let alone actual surgery for the issues. On top of that, there are not enough endometriosis specialists for when we do need diagnosis and surgery. Diagnosis itself is an invasive procedure to diagnose. We need well trained professionals. We don't have that, in my town there is one and he has been known to nick peoples insides- the other options are 2+ hours away and even some of THOSE patients chose to come to the specialist I've had to settle with. I'm terrified of something going wrong during or after the surgery and not having adequate follow up care. We need more funding all around. Money shouldn't be an issue 😢
Very informative! Also dietary changes help reduce endometriosis as well since it is an inflammatory illness - reducing/limiting dairy, sugar and junk food/oily food! I've found this to drastically reduce the pain I'm experiencing.
Totally agree, vegan diet helps a lot. Almost zero pain.
Yeah my periods got much lighter just by losing weight. I went from 230 to 160 in 5 years (I'm 5'11). I used to bleed through a super tampon in an hour. But I still have really irregular bizarre periods. Mainly brown blood and giant clots that could fill up a shot glass. Now the bleeding itself really doesn't bother me. It's all the pelvic pain, back pain, brain fog, other pain, rectal stabbing (butt lightning). It all continued to get worse while the bleeding itself did improve. I thought I didn't even have endo until recently despite having a very stereotypical story. My OBGYN didn't think so either because I'm not anemic. But I'm in extreme pain and probably going to have surgery by the end of the year. Feel like my youth has been wasted feeling like shit and thinking I'm insane because nobody understands
Gluten free diet helps
As I have came across this video, I'm amazed. I have it. I had a hysterectomy last year, 36. I STILL have major issues, including the endometriosis growing all over my intestines. I never had kids, and I wanted them terribly. However, I also wanted my health to be better. Most of the time life is wonderful, and sometimes not. I took birth control for 6 years, and it worked only because I finally was able to continuously use it, and not have periods. Then my body started bleeding for 3, going on 4 mnths. Yep, I was done. I also had an abnormally small uterus. I have one ovary left, adhesions that love to develop fast. Female life sucks for me. But this lady explains very thoroughly. Thank you.
Yea, my wife's been dealing with a number of issues, finally diagnosed. The hormone treatments are a joke, and highly problematic for many women. The key is finding a surgeon who specializes in endometriosis and excision surgery. The doctor in the video above is recommending treatment that may be unhelpful, and the ablation style surgery often doesn't resolve the problem. Excision involves digging deeper into the surrounding tissue, and excising the endometriomas. We've been looking at the Center for Endometriosis Care, but it's a long way to go.
She wants to “preserve their fertility” with Mirena, but she doesn’t tell you the risks - my Mirena embedded in my uteran wall causing me to need a hysterectomy.
I found out in 2004 that I have endometriosis because I went to the hospital and couldn't breathe, I had a hemorrhaging chocolate cyst. I was told it was poisoning my blood and that I needed emergency surgery immediately. I had laparoscopic surgery that day. All my life up until 2004 I was told I was being dramatic and overreacting. But it is not normal to throw up from pain from your period. It is not normal to shake uncontrollably from the pain. It's not normal to not be able to function, and have to stay home putting your job security in danger. It is an incredible amount of pain. I wish I had a lot of money because it is painful to live with this.
I found out I had stage 3 endo after being told for 15 years that it was just bad period pain. Shame all those doctors never picked it up. I share on my story on my channel. Feel free to have a watch.
Courtney Allyce Love why video on your channel?
I had Kyleena inserted 2 weeks ago to help with endometriosis and I've been in agony for 2 weeks with SEVERE labor-like cramps, heavy bleeding, migraines, fatigue and have had to take opiates to cope. Update: after a few weeks the pain stopped and I’ve been period free and pain free ever since. But I’m 47 so for me, I have the luxury of not being in a position to get pregnant. Which is why I waited until I was 46 to do this. I wish you all relief from this hideous condition. My doctor thinks mine is adenomyosis, rather than endo, so I know it’s a different situation but believe me, I understand the excruciating pain.
Hi it’s been 2 years has anything changed in your situation please update thanks so much !
Any diet changes or lifestyle changes?
@@universezero2590 yes! The IUD was a life changer. Now I don’t get periods at all anymore. I still get migraines every month when I’m supposed to get my period but no more pain or bleeding at all.
@@magicisreal111 I’m 17 do you think I could or should try ?
@@universezero2590 I was told by my doctor diet changes don't change anything :(
This doctor was very thorough and superb in explaining this in detail. Thank you!!
But she was also misleading
Judy Gagnon how was she misleading may I ask?
Birth control DOES NOT HELP WITH PAIN
Naomi Deleon for a lot it does
For a lot it does not and ..we are all entitled to our own opinion which I stated mine above! I am now pain free thank you God and it was not because of birth control..
I have very painful periods and I took birth control pills it doesn’t really help but then I got the depo shot and the pain completely went away but I hate the side effects of that shot so sadly I stopped taking it /:
It definitely helps me.
I found taking the progesterone only pill helped because it stopped periods all together.. but after say 4 years on it the pill did fail..
This is amazing Mona! I have stage 3 endometriosis and been going thru fertility treatment for the last 3 years trying to get pregnant. This video helps me a lot in learning new things and also recalling a lot of the convo I had with my own fertility doctor. Thank you for filming this. Love your work.
Blindly prescribing a hormonal birth control pill for an already hormonally imbalanced uterus will not help and most of all does Nothing for pain
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I’m 33 with “undiagnosed infertility.” I’m 100% certain I have endometriosis.
It’s sad that this video has gave me more information than my actual gynecologist that I have been seeing for years now for endro.
Keep researching, she is putting out an old theory of its origin, and blindly prescribing birth control that has risks that can be permanent!
Yes! Many doctors tell you it's normal to have pain. NOBODY takes it seriously. My periods have worsened over the yrs, from 1 day of severe pain to 4 days, and 3/4 of mild pain before my period or an entire week. I get pelvic pain now randomly without my period, it's my body and I know something is not right. I'm vomiting and in extreme pain. Just wish I can find 1 doctor who actually cares to help rather than tell you you're exaggerating. I know not all cases can be taken seriously but I have watched people who are extremely sick and doctors telling them, they had nothing wrong.😔
I have PCOS and Fibroids. Taking out the fibroid in a few weeks and my doctor stated that he would take care of any endometriosis while doing the Fibroid removal, that's why I'm watching this. This is very helpful to know because I have been that person who stays home because of a period even before my fibroids got bad. So helpful and really appreciate this, and the PCOS video too. Thanks a lot.
My GP tried various types of the pill with me, because my periods were so painful I had to stay home from work. In fact, one time it was so bad that other workers asked if I was feeling okay, period started that day at work. They said I looked as white as a sheet, but I refused to go home and took the only tablets which ever worked for me, and they worked about 90+% of the time for me - Feminax. The only trouble with these tablets was that they could give you a dry mouth, make you feel nauseous, and definitely made me feel very drowsy, but I always felt that was a price worth paying just to get rid of the pain. I would have that pain for about 3 or 4 days of my 7 day period, and I used to hate that week, I used to count the hours of the day until I would start to get better. So, I am now 54, and started on the menopause about 10 years ago. I thought I would have all sorts of horrendous symptoms with my menopause, but, it has really been plain sailing. One thing is for sure, though, I am glad I no longer have to go through all that pain once a month anymore. Oh, almost forgot, during my period, for about the first two or three days, my appetite would be a little suppressed, I would not feel as hungry as I did the rest of that nasty week, or the rest of the month.
This is the best video about endometriosis I’ve ever found. The information is on point, scientific and aligns with what my gyno told me.
I had a tubal pregnancy that burst. I ended up in emergency surgery, three months later began my journey with Endo. Almost exactly five years later to the day, I had a complete hysterectomy. Thinking back on the pain of Endo, even now thirty five years later is very difficult. My pain was such that I would throw myself into walls trying to get rid of it. I would end up in the ER and always got a shot of Demerol. The last shot I got had no effect and my obgyn said, enough is enough and suggested the hysterectomy. All I know is that the suppression of the female hormone, estrogen is the only way to deal with Endo effectively. Until my tubal, I never had that pain, but did have cramps like most women..sometimes really bad, but not that pain. I know the doctor that did my emergency surgery for my tubal was trying to save my life, but I think the blood that got into my pelvic area and not cleaned out well is what created my Endo. Btw most of my Endo lesions were located in the cul de sac which is located deep behind uterus, on every nerve endings according to my doctor. So although during my three endoscopies they thought they were getting it all, they had no idea until my hysterectomy just how bad it was. Endo does not run in my family either side, and thank GOD neither of my daughters. One is 42 and the other is 38 do not have any signs of it and never did.
Why is she NOT talking about the webbing!?? My dr not only found scar tissue all throughout my pelvis and on other organs he also found webbing that was connecting tissues together in my pelvis. Webbing on its own creates horrible pain.
Hi Mona!! I wanted to leave a comment because I have endometriosis (I was diagnosed about five years ago), and I think the view of conventional doctors is often a bit one-sided. There are DEFINITELY things you can do to help with endo pain and progression that don't involve hormone therapy. 600mg of NAC 3x per day has been a game changer for me, also Wobenzym N in the morning on an empty stomach, as well as Serrapeptase... I've heard CBD oil is also great for pain management, but I have not tried this yet... And in addition to all this, an anti-inflammatory diet is key. This means cutting out dairy, sugar and gluten in particular. Abstaining from coffee and alcohol also helps. You mentioned beauty and skincare in this video, and while I don't think that the chemicals in our personal care products CAUSE endometriosis, many products (particularly those containing parbens) are estrogenic, meaning they mimic estrogen in our body, which can lead to an estrogen dominance, which can progress and worsen endometriosis. Chemicals like oxybenzone (commonly found in sunscreens) have been linked to endometriosis. So have dioxins which are in our meat supply and even our tampons (a byproduct of bleaching cotton). The fact is, no one knows what causes endometriosis. And while there is a strong genetic link (my mom also had it), there is definitely an environmental component, and there are lifestyle changes we can each make to help slow it's progression. Suppression therapy may work for some, but it isn't right for everyone. While I totally appreciate the opinion of any medical expert, the fact of the matter is, this disease is a mystery, so it's impossible to say that there is only one viable treatment option. That said, I think it's really awesome that you're bringing awareness to endometriosis and using your platform to help women understand and treat this disease. Xx
Alice Panikian what is NAC?
I have been diagnosed with endometriosis vs. Adenomiosis. I tried birth control pills i didn't work for me pain comes worst. I just had my operation last year which they removed my left ovary. Now I'm on my monthly injection of "leuprorelin ( luprolex ) it's a gonadotropin releasing hormones analog and whenever My monthly period kicks in I'm not experiencing any pain. 💛
I just had surgery last week.my doc says I will be on some hormonal injections. How are your periods now?
I will say look in to juicing and no dairy because Casein which is in it and not good for body along with switching flour out to almond/ coconut flour to make bread etc ..
Gillian berry is great for juicing and informative on many conditions.. I had both but choose hysterectomy and now dealing with still having endometriosis but not much pain after changing my lifestyle in the way I eat.. I didn’t experience painful sex until hysterectomy and have hypertonic pelvic floor etc because of it but green juice helps inflammation
Low dosage bc for endo caused me acne, depression, severe stress and stress migraines and headaches as a result. I think doctors need to educate themselves and understand that hormonal birth control doesn't work for all people. Also she mentioned that after surgery you're back at square 1 if you don't follow any hormonal treatment. That's just not true!!!! Endometriosis has a chance of 20-40% of returning if it has been thoroughly cleared during laparoscopy or open surgery.
Dear Mona, thank you so much for sharing this video with us. For me, it was a real help. I trully appreciate your initiative in approaching this subject about endometriosis, as the majority of doctors don't know what to say about this matter. You are lucky having a doctor like yours. Thank you.
Very cool informative video. I always addressed my painful periods unsuccessfully. Last year I had a ureteral reimplantation because the undiagnosed endometriosis caused an obstruction on my ureter (distal) connecting to my bladder. Awful experience. That tells a lot about how silent and dangerous this disease is and how negligent gynecologists can be. I was lucky to keep my kidney (left) but lost almost all its function. After one year on birth control I feel like I am starting to get back on track. Thanks, Mona!!
You sound very genuine and too good to sound like a Doctor. You sound soo kind and empathetic compared to other doctors. Doctors would have charged advise that you gave £180 in the UK for 15 minute advise. WELL DONE DOCTOR. You gave soooo much awareness in endo.

I wish I could have seen this video 20 years ago - I am in my mid-30's with stage 4 endo, been through a lap, depot lupron, and 4 IVF's and still no babies. I was so anti birth control in the past because I thought my body knew best (with it's hormones), but now I wish I could have put my younger self on birth control to help prevent my infertility. Thanks for sharing this information!
I don't know if you are familiar with it, but some people who are good candidates try ovarian drilling.
Aaaah same is the story with me....
Did you try Chinese herbal cleansing and dieting?
Me too,I wish I had seen this in my teenage days,I was given birth control pills bcoz of severe painful pains but threw them 'coz the doctor like this one said,some doctors give us birth control but fail to explain why.now I'm 36,7yrs of infertility,but goin for laparoscopy next month to burn them.im praying God bless me with kids atleast.
You can become infernal from BC too, some times you just can't win
Exactly what happened with me. She is so knowledgeable and caring.
I think video like this is very helpful. Educating women out there who suffer of it and dont know what to do. Thank you for making this video !
DR. Mona I am so appreciative of this video. I've been diagnosed for about 3 years now and have had 2 operations since then. I am on the pill but am now looking into a more holistic aporoach before uts too late for me. It's made me understand the medical aspect alongside my research on the holistic approach. Can't wait for more videos on women's health!
Thanks Mona for this great video , my doctor in iran just diagnosed me with endometriosis! And i always had to go to hospital for my periods since i was 17 !
Great Video Mona! My sister suffers from painful periods since she was a teenager, now she’s 27 and just got diagnosed with Endometriosis like half a year ago, there is so much information I believe it’s gonna be helpful for her. Thanks for talking about such sensitive topics!
Best video ever.its one week since my surgery. I wish I had seen this earlier
I’ve heard such terrible things about birth control though and the long term effects it can have on your body..
Yeah, I don't think it's a good solution. Putting hormones in your body is not healthy. It's like fighting an illness with another illness because of all the terrible side effects of birth control
I have advanced endo, or had I guess cuz I had excision surgery, but my estradiol is low! so I don’t believe that endo is always caused by high estrogen at all.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this, to the both of you!!! I have been suffering for the past couple years and each month it getting progressively worse. Great, informative content :)
This was posted at the perfect time! Thank you so so so much!!❤️
This helps tremendously. Its good to see from a Dr’s perspective. Ty
What about people who can’t take hormones, and those who can’t lose weight when on birth control no matter how many life changes they make and medications (like metformin) they take?
I had 11 fibroids that kept growing for 9 years, I finally got a doctor who did a myomectomy on me, before it all doctors dismissed me, one female doctor once laughed at me, I still have pain but I don’t agonize as much
ivanete roark try .....acupuncture..and herbs it will help
😢 Did you also have endometriosis?
@@mrs.s8855 I had different diagnosis some said I had endometriosis some said I hadn’t
I just wanted to thank you for taking time to make such valuable and helpful videos! You are amazing! I have learned so much from you! Please continue doing what you do!
This video contradicts what I believed were your values. I'm disappointed you didn't provide the "other side of the argument." You chose to not discuss the negative side-effects of BC pills and other treatments for endo. The gyno was adamant that synthetic hormones supposedly are the only solution to relieve endo pain. You're always promoting plant-based diets, yet in this video you agreed that the diet doesn't work for this case. You said treating this naturally is not the way to go. However, treating endo naturally has worked for MANY women. I wouldn't dismiss the option without doing your own research and seeing countless women who've shared their experiences. I have endo; the day I started eating the endo-diet (basically nutritarian/plant-based/vegan), the pain went away! I used to stay home from work during my period, cry in bed, throw up, and take 4 Tylenols to no avail. I tried birth control. Yes, the pain went away, but then it brought along a host of other issues. I eventually came off the pills and changed my Standard American Diet to plant-based in June of 2017. Since then, I rarely take pain killers and cramps are almost non-existent. My PMS symptoms are finally manageable. Many of the gyno’s statements in this video contradict the current research. She reminded me of the male gynos that only want to prescribe and not listen or get to the root of the problem. Doctors shouldn't limit their treatments to pills and should listen to their patient's concerns and desires for an alternative, natural method. I (and many of today’s well-known doctors) truly believe wholesome eating and using food as medicine can prevent many of today's diseases. And I also understand that modern medicine and treatment has done much in this field, too. Maybe your next video can be an interview about a more holistic approach to endo - a different perspective on the disease and treatment.
Lorena Matarrita the birth control is not for the pain - it is to prevent infertility. I’m sorry that wasn’t made more clear. And with all do respect, my values if a plant based diet does not mean that I’m 100% against medication. Why does it have to be all or nothing? I think in certain cases you do need medication, but i try my damn hardest to prevent it with diet and a natural lifestyle. there is no rule that states you have to be completely one way or the other. True medicine is case by case
Lorena Matarrita did you avoid soy, gluten and dairy too? I have endometriosis and had been taking bc for years. I wanted to stop taking pills but i am still having much pain even if i am not on my period.. any more suggestions on your diet? Thanks!
The month I stopped BC was torture. I cried in agony at work & drove myself to urgent care. It came back with a vengeance. To answer your question, yes I try & avoid those 3 (soy, gluten, dairy).Dairy, I believe, caused the worst reactions for me. Soy & gluten, however, aren't as easy to avoid. I try not to be hard on myself with those. I never had time to do an elimination diet with specific foods, so I can't be sure what's worse or what triggers the inflammation & pain. But I do say no to red meats, fried foods, & dairy. Since I've gone primarily "WFPB"/plant-based, I no longer fear my periods. I don't eat 100% clean, but I try to make good choices with foods that have high nutrient value. And when I eat "SAD" foods, I eat clean the next day to flush out the toxins & "heal" my body. I don't want any of it in me when I'm close to period week. It sounds like you might need to be strict with your diet if you're in constant pain. Doing an elimination diet might not be worth the struggle at this point. I'd suggest testing it full-on for 3 months & tracking all the foods you eat (even if you're only eating clean healthy foods). Look up the 10 dangerous foods for endo & try your best to avoid. Research "Endo Diet", wholefoods/plant based, Nutritarian. Keep me posted in 3 to 4 months. Good luck!
Lorena Matarrita thanks for your response. I am going to see if i can endure eating healthy and clean for 3 months before i really quit taking pills. I am having my ultrasound this thursday to see where i’m at and how big my firboids are too. I still eat chicken and turkey-organic, no hormones.. non gmo. I have stomach pain when i take pain relievers so i don’t take it cuz i also have acid reflux. I tried drinking lemon water to detox but it gives me a sour taste for days and stomach pain.. even if i eat food before drinking it. My stomach is worse too. Oh well.. it’s always one or the other pain or both..

Thank you for posting this. As someone that tries natural approaches, I was getting so frustrated with failing. All medicine shouldn’t be demonized because it didn’t grow naturally.
This is really good information but why was there no discussion about Endometriosis excision, hysterectomy, and the evil twin of Endometriosis that’s in the bladder IC
Whats the evil twin😞😞
@@shshshshshshshsh9695 Interstitial Cystitis. It's one of the worst pain. If Endometriosis grows on the urinary bladder it is called Bladder Endometriosis. Imagine bladder hurting ten times as the entire uterus hurts...😥😥
Finally someone who is honest!
hi, thank you for sharing this information. my 14 yr old daughter suffers from severe stage 4 endometriosis , endometriosis on bowels , adenomyosis , retrograde cycles since age 9 and Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuester-Hauser Syndrome 1 & has had a Vaginoplasty . she was dxd at age 12 .. since then she has seen 3 " specialists" and each one refuses to do surgeries for her. why is it so difficult finding one that will listen.
:( i wish more drs were like you ! one that actually explains her conditions to her fully. we have resorted to doing our own research . medically speaking she is in need of expert excision surgery, vaginoplasty redone properly this time, hysterectomy for quality of life , hemmorhagic cyst removed from left ovary as shes had endometriomas drained from both ovaries and both fallopian tubes removed as well as her vaginal septum and 500 cc units of blood removed from under developed uterus. if her conditions are this terrible why do drs INSIST on her doing Ivf treatments at age 17. you would think drs would discuss adoption instead as her endo & other reproductive system anomolies are higher at risk to being passed down to future children. however drs tell her she can not adopt instead she NEEDS to have her own children. i find this rather disgusting in wanting to use a child as a guinea pig for experimental procedures.
Thank you for this. Couple years ago I watched it and followed Dr advice and it helped me with all symptoms! Went on low dose pill and feel better! Until today other Doctors are ignoring my symptoms, especially very bloated endo belly only before and after period, that was getting worse year by year...
Birth control doesn’t work very well and it doesn’t get straight to the problem. I’d like to stop the pain instead of diminish it. I got endo when I was about 14 and I was diagnosed at 15. I’m quite lucky it didn’t take very long for mine to get treated.
Most doctors recommend laparoscopic surgery but luckily i saw a good gynae specialist who referred me for an MRI scan which he told me can do a good job detecting without cutting me open and leaving scars. 2 weeks ago i got my results and turns out i have endometriosis and cysts (less than 2cm) on the ovaries. I have had nothing but headache since my first period at 15-16yrs. Pelvic pain started around 19-20yrs old. Only diagnosed now at 36yrs old. I dont understand why it took so long to diagnose me or even care to investigate my obvious symptoms. Its frustrating because i thought i was going mad and ive lost my life to this
Great tips especially at the end, making it clear to fin a doc who has a strong focus in GYN. Also like what you said, Dr. Mona, about taking personal responsibility for our health.
Getting a laparoscopy tomorrow- and hoping it helps relieve me of some of this pain. 😩
Did your laparoscopic procedure help? I’m getting one at the end of the month and I’ve been trying to find forums where women discuss the procedure and their experience
If only there would be more doctors like her. I wish to hear that, when I first came to gynegologist. I changed quite a few doctors, they put me on low estrogen pills, but it didn't help after years of pain it went only on worse! I want to have children now, but have trouble. Doctors should be more educated, they should see a person as a whole, all the symptoms...and educate patients. We spent so much money, especially in Europe where we have state covered health care, for curing the consequences of these disease instead investing into prevention! @Dr. Mona Vand, thank you for making this interview and inviting a great expert. Dr. Aliabadi explain it in a way that anyone can understand the point. And that tells a lot about the doctor's expertise. Looking forward to more of interviews like this!
Thank you so much for this educational video clib. She is very informative and explains endometriosis so clearly! I work for a colorectal surgeon (im a PA) and we do have patients who suffers from endometriosis as a joint procedure with gynae. So thank you Dr Mona :)
I’m going to find a new gyno after watching this video. Here in the U.K. lack of funding means they actually avoid referring you to gyno on purpose to save money (healthcare is free and funded by taxpayers here) so now after years I finally get it diagnosed but it’s spread EVERYWHERE. They now are planning to operate on the bowel and I might have to do a hysterectomy and I’m only 28 still no children ... to all the women suffering please find a good doctor and don’t give up like I did!
Mona thank you so much this was such an incredibly informative video. Im literally 33 and going through exactly what shes saying and ive been avoiding bc because like she said, i thought they make you infertile and I am very into natural and holistic. Had the same issue of my Dr brushing me off saying I was just having a painful period and to stop complaining, but I was 2 weeks late, excruciating cramps just like she said first 2 days before they 2 days after then a week before, its like crazy hearing her talk about this. I will follow her on IG but most importantly can she recommend a GYN dr in NY, I am not in LA anymore. Ty so much Mona this gave some peace of mind and I just started a low dose bc for the 1st time in 10 years, today to help me🙏. Ty ty ty
Thank you so much for doing this! This is 100% more information than my obgyn has given me and this helps conclude my diagnosis. Thank you🙏🏼❤️
Great information to pass on to all ladies.
Thank you :)
So glad more people are sharing information on endometriosis, this was a great video. I’ve been dealing with this for 13 years, going doctor to doctor and I am just now being scheduled for surgery this month.
I live in Hawaii and I have endometriosis. Love your advice. I totally agree I been to many doctors cause they don’t know how to treat endometriosis. And my doctor office is always so busy so my doctor never has time to actually listen to my questions and concerns. So here I am trying to do my own research.
I found this so interesting great advice.. Thank you..
Endometriosis pain is like nothing else I had suffered for years ( without knowing & jusf putting up with painfull & dreadful periods)with stage 4 endometriosis & fibroids I found the birth control pill well progesterone only pill the best thing to have, painkillers only ever took the edge of it.. ended up with hysterectomy but kept ovaries because they were healthy at the time of surgery gyno didn't know I had endometriosis that's why kept ovaries.. 2 years on have a endometrioma growing in right ovary so gutted i don t think there's no end to this dreadful disease..
Love this video! Im 21 and have really painful periods and I faint almost every month too, ive been put on birth control and it has helped me a lot but occasionally i still get pain and fainting again, ive recently had blood tests and im just waiting for the results, my doctor has never brought up endometriosis to me but listening to this it seems like i have all the symptoms, thanks for uploading this!
Rebecca Alice Byrne I faint too. Happy to know I'm not the only one fainting even after taking the birth control.
This is exactly what happened to me. I went to the doctor when I was 22 years old, they gave me birth control without even talking and explaining anything, so I didn’t take it because I wasn’t having sex. I’m now 31 and recently married, I had an ectopic pregnancy and now trying to get pregnant again. This is the most devastating time of my life. What the system is doing is in humane and cruel.
Yeah my Mum had a Mirena and ended uo with an ectopic pregnancy people need to follow up with caution when using this method
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this post. I was not aware of a lot of this information, and if I had known this vlog was being filmed then I probably would've thrown in my own question. Nevertheless, I learned a lot!!!! Thank you for this info.
Such an informative and helpful video. This has come just at the right time for me and provided a great insight into Endometriosis. Wouls love to see a lot more videos like this! Really appreciate this video, thanks Mona.
Wow! Thank you so much for posting this!
Thank you for this video. I am a plus size women and have been dismissed by my gynecologist for years stating “ I should lose weight” and all my problems will be solved . I can’t even get the surgery due to being “ too big” so my only choice is birth control and ibuprofen ...
Very informative... Thank you DR. YOU looked so concerned for your patients everything you said was pure straight from heart... Just like a mother
Thank you for posting this!!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much for doing this video!
you're so welcome :)
I just got diagnosed ! Thanks for this
This information is saving my life. Thank you so much for this content!!
I was 12 years old when i got put on birth control. At the time i was having 2-3 periods a month & it did help me stay regulated for while . I was taking it for years and i hated the way it made my body feel ... eventually i took myself off of them & was doing fine for a long time until August of 2018. I started experiencing extreme pelvic pain and it eventually got worse overtime. Fast forward to now, im still in pain 24/7 with no relief because meds DO NOT help me anymore. If I could’ve found a NATURAL way to deal with my periods back when i was 12, i dont think I would have half of the issues i do now & im 22. There are some things that are out of my control but i wish I could’ve gone a natural route. I hate it when doctors throw birth control in my face ( my experience! ) without even discussing other options. I try not to stress about it because my pain gets 10x worse. I just want to start living again....
Tbh I’m happy there other opinions then just surgery
If the patient is experiencing bloating and the famous endo belly...do these symptoms fog away when a laparoscopic procedure is done ?
Birth control doesn’t help. I ended up in the hospital my body literally tore it out of me
Thank you so much for posting this video! It was very educational.
This was sooo good, thank you!!!
This video was so informative! Thank you to both of you xx
Thank you so much for this video Drs! My sister has painful periods and this video will help her understand why she might be getting them a little better. God bless you both!
This was amazing ! Very informative! I mean such a great help! Ty
I was on birth control and it did NOTHING! I’m now on Oxycodone, and that works for me.....I have has endo for about 10 years
Birth control made me so sick I have tried multiple pills and the depo shot. I got so sick and it never helped once when I did the shots I bleed for a month and a half. My average period lasts 3 weeks. I'm sorry but no just no bc dosnt work. I have tried them and can say they dont work
I was so grateful for menopause at age 48. Monthly pain required 1000 milligrams of ibuprofen at 4 hour intervals for 2-3 days. So when I started hemorrhaging and experienced that familiar pain at age 65 I was overwhelmed. Diagnosis is endometrial cancer. I am awaiting a hysterectomy. The pain is continuous; it doesn't go away in 2-3 days! 😰
Have you been able to get the right treatment?
@@kimberlysteven4074 yes, I am now 7 days post op robotic radical hysterectomy. On the mend 🤗👍🥳
@@24carrotgold8 ❤️
Can you already be on birth control pills and still get endo? I’ve been on the pill for about 25 years and up until a year ago all went quite well. For over a year now, I have the worst ‘off week’ and it gets worse every month! It stars even when I’m at my last few pills: bad cramps (so bad I can’t go into the office), pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, heavy bloating (I look 6m pregnant), digestive problems, bladder pain, peeing constantly… I should also mention I had my first period at age 8 and have NF1
Birth control doesn't help at all for a lot of women with endo.I have PCOS and Endometriosis but i had very very regular periods( i mean each 30 days for the last 15 years) so the cause is not irregular periods. It is something else. I have a endometrioma and i take Qlaira and it doesnt help at all. I have to visit my doctor for another treatment.
Great video on making endometriosis known but one thing I wish you would have touched on is women suffering with endometriosis and trying to fall pregnant. Obviously birth control/mirena is not an option in this case so other helpful remedies would have been good to suggest. Thank you for the video though! Xo
wow , this is exactly what i needed to know, i am 23 years old and lives in Ethiopia, i have gone to different Drs to find explanation for my painful periods, i also have diarrhea, vomiting, sweating and even fainting on the first day of my period, i think i have an answer to my question here, but sadly i leave in ethiopia and there is no way to get the treatment here, so i will probably have no children of my own with high pain every month, that is really sad, reallly sad :'( and i want to ask one question, if i use any birth control pill , will it at least help with the pain?, i don't think the one you mention on the video exist in Ethiopia. Thank you for the video
i also live in a poor country and if i want to get help with endometriosis i need to pay. Surgery is expensive also and i cannot afford(( i take birth control and it doesnt help. Sad
Hi Feben,
Ayzosh
Yes, any birth control is better. They might have lo estrogen once, if no take the one available and try to see if it helps. But you need to try it for few months to see the result.
Yes, you can have a baby...be optimistic
I like the way your doctor explain Endometriosis.
The idea of just placing a patient on birth control is bs. I was slapped on birth control at 14 and was still in crippling pain. I told them ever visit for 6 months that I was still feeling awful before they would even do an ultrasound. After 2 ER visits, 1 visit to Urgent Care, and 5 years of pain I went to a new doctor and first visit he orders an ultrasound, check my hymn (no obgyn had done so before even though I told them all I couldn't use tampons) and talk over a what it could be, including endo. All in 20 minutes, so it has nothing to do with time it has to do with not listening.
Suffered with this since I was 9 still not getting help at 23 years old now and postpartum 11 months 🤦♀️doctors have told me they don't know how to help??
Get a second opinion.

Thank you for this video. Great informative doctor!
My mother had endometriosis, she was having severe bleeding for weeks and kept going to the dr, and the dr (a woman) didn’t believe her, she went back one last time and insisted on a test. They found out she was near death from the heavy bleeding and she had to have an emergency hysterectomy. Now I have it too and they always say keep trying birth control so far no help for me
I don't know if I have this but my period is weird. One time my period is barely anything but I still get bloating and a little cramping. Then the next period its hell. Like glass being shoved up. I get sick and tired. I cant even move. I have a lot of blood which got me sh00k because the last one was barely anything!!! Idk anymore. I the pain is so bad sometimes I cry but it feels okay for a while then ZOOM IT HAPPENS AGAIN. Its an off and on thingy. Also it hurts to pee like a urinary and passgas. Gross I know srry. Its kind of sad im only 14. I dontplan on having any kids tho at least not mine cause i have alopecia which is a loss of hair everywhere. I dont have hair lashes or eyebrows. Barely on my body. Soooo i dont want to pass it on to another child since it sucks and is bad.
Hang in there babe.. have you had it checked out since this post?
Thank you for sharing this
Very informative and I had no idea about this.Thanks so much
Question: but how long would I expect to be on a suppressant ie. birth control because I know being on it long term can cause severe menopausal problems
