In episode 08, the Flow team talk about the complexity of Endometriosis (part 2, cause Endo is Complex!)  

 

Dr. Jocelyn Fitzgerald, Urogynecologist and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgeon, joins Jessica and Christie to unpack the complexity of endometriosis - symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options. 

 

PLUS: the importance of having women working in ALL parts of the medical field, the obstacle of insurance coverage when seeking treatment, the lack of comprehensive research into female reproductive health - AND a prediction of what will be different in 5-10 years from now for those suffering from endometriosis.
