About this listen
Endometriosis materializes when the endometrium - the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus - sheds, but does not exit a woman's body during her period. Instead, it grows outside of the uterus, spreading to organs and nerves in and around the pelvic region. The resulting pain is so physically and emotionally insufferable that it can mercilessly dominate a woman's life. The average woman with endometriosis is 27 years old before she is diagnosed. It is one of the top three causes of female infertility. The pain it emits can affect a woman's career, social life, relationships, sexual activity, sleep, and diet. It is incurable, but highly treatable. Unfortunately, though, it is rarely treated in a timely manner, if at all, because of misdiagnoses and/or a lack of education among those in the medical community.
This book gives hope to everyone connected to endometriosis. That includes every woman and young girl who has it, and the women and men in their lives who know something is wrong, but do not know what it is or what to do about it. This book is written at a level that everyone with ties to this disease can relate to and understand, but it is also for doctors with good intentions who lack the knowledge of how to diagnose or treat it.

Story
Approximately one out of every 10 women has endometriosis, an inflammatory disease that causes chronic pain and may lead to infertility. Despite the disease’s prevalence, the average woman may suffer for a decade or more before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Once she does, she’s often given little more than a prescription for pain killers and a referral for the wrong kind of surgery. Beating Endo arms women with what has long been missing - even within the medical community - namely, cutting-edge knowledge of how the disease works and what the endo sufferer can do....

Story
Endometriosis is a physically and mentally debilitating disease that has tortured women for centuries. Symptoms of heavy periods and excruciating pain most often begin in middle school or high school, yet doctors take an average of 12 years to diagnose it in a patient. As a result, these undiagnosed and misdiagnosed women suffer into at least their mid-20s or early 30s, repeatedly told that the pain is in their minds, that it’s simply part of becoming a woman, or that it’s caused by some other disease or condition. That nonsense must stop, and it must stop now!

Story
Despite being relatively unheard of, endometriosis affects an estimated one in 10 women worldwide. That's roughly 190 million people, and due to misdiagnosis, there's likely many more who are suffering without treatment. Getting a diagnosis of endometriosis can feel like a blessing and a curse. Knowing that you're not going crazy or blowing things out of proportion can be a huge relief. However, a diagnosis can also lead to feelings of isolation and discouragement - especially when you’re faced with treatment options that seem extreme. But don't despair - you aren't alone.

Women have a important biological rhythm they experience every month that affects productivity, weight, sex drive, energy, and mood. It is essential to be aware of and take care of this rhythm, but it has been widely ignored by medical, nutrition, and fitness research. So as women, we diet, we deprive, and we cram as much as possible into our day, striving to accomplish impossible to-do lists, and scheduling our lives based on a 24-hour time cycle, ignoring the intuitive time our bodies naturally keep: a monthly cycle with four hormonal phases that offer incredible advantages.

Hormonal. We all know what it means when we hear it - and feel it. While hormonal shifts are natural throughout women’s lives, too many experience distressing period symptoms, struggle daily with PCOS, endometriosis, a fertility challenge, pain, low sex drive, sleep problems, acne, bloating, hot flashes, and more - all due to hormone-related problems. And too many are unable to get the answers they’re really seeking from their doctors.

For most women, getting their period sucks. Bloating. Cramps. Acne. Aches. Moodiness. Messiness. No wonder we call it "The Curse"! For many, it's not just an inconvenience - it's a colossal life disruption, forcing them to miss work, school, appointments, or dates. We've been encouraged to medicate away common period problems with birth control and ibuprofen and just survive the mood swings as best we can. But as Nicole Jardim explains, periods aren't a nuisance, they're information.

But the central problem is that too much medical care has too little value.

Story
The Latin term for the female genitalia, pudendum, means “parts for which you should be ashamed”. Until 1651, ovaries were called female testicles. The fallopian tubes are named for a man. Named, claimed, and shamed: Welcome to the story of the female body, as penned by men. Today, a new generation of (mostly) women scientists is finally redrawing the map. With modern tools and fresh perspectives, they’re looking at the organs traditionally bound up in reproduction—the uterus, ovaries, vagina—and seeing within them a new biology of change and resilience.

Each of us will know physical pain in our lives, but none of us knows when it will come or how long it will stay. Today as much as 10 percent of the population of the United States suffers from chronic pain. It is more widespread, misdiagnosed, and undertreated than any major disease. While recent research has shown that pain produces pathological changes to the brain and spinal cord, many doctors and patients still labor under misguided cultural notions and outdated scientific dogmas.

Endometriosis is a physically and mentally debilitating disease that has tortured women for centuries. Symptoms of heavy periods and excruciating pain most often begin in middle school or high school, yet doctors take an average of 12 years to diagnose it in a patient. As a result, these undiagnosed and misdiagnosed women suffer into at least their mid-20s or early 30s, repeatedly told that the pain is in their minds, that it’s simply part of becoming a woman, or that it’s caused by some other disease or condition. That nonsense must stop, and it must stop now!

This book is CHANGING MY F*ING LIFE
Holy f*ing sh**, this f*ing book is f*ing REVOLUTIONIZING how I see this disease! :-O I have an insufficient quantity of expletives to describe my *PROFOUND* learning and amazement while listening to this book. And just to make that *more powerful* for those reading this review, here's some background on my already fairly extensive research of this condition...
I was tentatively diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 17 (I'm 39 now, so that was 22 years ago), after I collapsed/passed out from an ibuprofen overdose in my cheerleading class while we were doing aerobics. I was formally diagnosed by laparoscopy, and had a cauterization procedure (which I realized very quickly thereafter did almost nothing for me) done at the age of 20. I studied anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology extensively throughout highschool, massage school, and college, almost pursuing a higher education in medicine, but deciding to follow my passion for dance instead, then returning to school for a psychology degree in my late 20s. For the final paper of a class during my psychology degree, I wrote a heavily researched paper on this condition, and how to treat its extensively life-affecting symptoms, largely with dietary and lifestyle support. That research (which was performed in 2010) was what lead me to my first encounter with the mechanism of excision surgery, and a doctor in Oregon who was having fairly revolutionary success with Endo patients at the time, but which was only *just starting* to be widely known in the gynecological community 10 years ago.
I have been studying and researching this condition and female reproductive health for the better part of 20 years, both formally (in college pre-med courses), and informally (in independent reading and acquisition of knowledge, motivated by my *extreme* cyclic pain). I have more knowledge than the average lay-person, and even the average Endo sufferer, and I *STILL* stopped the playback *Multiple Times* just to shout the words "Holy Sh*t!" or "Of my f*ing gods!" (sometimes many times in a row) when some symptom I've been suffering for decades, and which I *never knew* was tied to this condition, would surface in the reading.
I cannot recommend this book enough, for literally anyone who either has, or know someone who has, *A Uterus!* I'm not even going to limit this to people who have painful periods, because some of the things he shares are things I *never expected* to be related to Endo, like fatigue! :-O And I think the way he presents women's health is something everyone should hear.
Anyway, read it, listen to it (anything narrated by Paul Woodson is *absolutely* worth listening to, anyway, and Gabra Zachman's section wasn't nearly long enough, because she's also stellar), but get this information into your brain and the brains of those around you. It may help a woman or family in *critical* need if this knowledge can be disseminated as widely as humanly possible. And everything he says about "women's problems" being taboo and not talked about is *painfully, horribly* true, and is THE MAIN CAUSE OF WOMEN NOT GETTING THE HELP THEY NEED! Along with *everyone,* EVEN MEDICAL DAMN PROFESSIONALS, just writing off mensural pain as "just part of being a woman." The terrifying quantity of times he mentioned this phenomenon in the book just makes me want to scream. If men had issues with their penises being in *even a small* quantity of pain once a month (if monthly reproductive cycles were accepted as "normal" for a man, that is), you'd better f*ing believe that the research on this sh** would have been blazing trails in medicine *decades* ago. It just f*ing *INFURIATES* me. >:-(
Anyway, this man, at least, is pioneering the conversation, and the help that women need.
I am incredibly grateful I found this book.

Life changing book
I was told at 12 that periods just hurt and that every woman has to get used to it.
Finally at 31 a gynecologist at Planned Parenthood told me I likely had endometriosis. She told me the IUD I was getting in the hopes of reducing the intensity of my periods was only capable of possibly masking my symptoms and I should do some reading about endo.
The levonorgestrel IUD did lessen many of my symptoms but the side-effects have become unbearable and the pain is evolving and increasing again 7 years on.
Finally, with this book and Iris Orbuch’s book I’ve learned that there is a hope for a pain free life.

learned a lot
I learned so much from this book. I have Endometriosis and I feel like reading this book helped me know how to talk to my doctors about it and get the best treatment that I can get. Without reading this I probably would have gone with the first doctor that I talked with, who wanted to burn off the Endometriosis. I now know that is the worst thing you can do. I'm so glad I listened to this book. #lifechanging #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

It’s NOT “just a bad period”
This book is SO educational and eye opening!
I always thought endo was ONLY heavy bleeding and bad cramps.
I thought that my suffering every month; before dying and after my period; was normal. I’m finally ready to dig deeper and bring this topic to my gyno. Please, women, do NOT settle for not being heard.

🔆FORGET the REST💥THIS 1 is the BEST🔆
I listened to this read 3 times.. After hearing Dr. Seckin explain this disease and share his patients stories; I felt like He left nothing out.. After years of chasing the wind, my daughter was “unofficially” diagnosed with Endometriosis by an obgyn in our area who suggested “risky exploratory surgery” in order to officially diagnose her.. I was skeptical & That’s when I found this book & started on our journey to find Dr. Seckin.. He is as awesome in person as I imagined he would be & even more so.. After reading this book, you will discover the “correct” way to successfully diagnose, treat & possibly rid yourself or a loved one of endometriosis..
I will do everything in my power to help this great man & the organization he has started to spread awareness of this overlooked but very real disease bc of the passion & efforts he alone has put forth to genuinely help women over come this horrible disease whether she has is or not..
Gratefully,
Marie Fanelli Russo

Need to know
As a current medical student, this is a great resource to understand the history and context of endometriosis that wasn’t fully elaborated on during my preclinical years. Easy to understand and digestible for anyone, even those without a medical background.
