Dr. Magtibay:
But yet, you will have another woman who comes in with severe debilitating pain, especially pain with her periods or pain with intercourse or just general daily chronic pain. But then when we do a diagnostic evaluation and workup on those patients we just find small little flecks of endometriosis causing all of that pain.
And this has been recognized for years and written about in the medical literature historically for years that oftentimes these women have pain that’s disproportionate to the amount of disease that we find in the pelvis.
