About this episode

Eloise discusses the challenges of diagnosing endometriosis with Dr. Mona Orady, addressing common myths and patient concerns.

Getting a diagnosis for endometriosis can feel overwhelming, and far too many people are told “everything looks normal.” In Episode 3 of our mini-series Challenging the Endo Status Quo, our founder and CEO, Eloise, speaks with Dr Mona Orady MD, FACOG, a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, about the realities of endometriosis diagnosis. They explore questions many patients face: • How do you find the right specialist? • When is it worth getting a second opinion? • Is surgery the only way to diagnose endometriosis? This episode is powered by ReceptivaDx, a test designed to help identify inflammation associated with endometriosis that may be impacting fertility.
