Understanding Endometriosis

Have you ever experienced painful period symptoms and wondered if they were outside of “the norm”? What is “the norm” anyway? Did you wonder if it could be endometriosis, but weren't exactly sure what that would look and feel like? This week on The Period Feels, Nadya, Neddy, and Sam unpack some easily accessible, yet potentially confusing, definitions of endometriosis--some capable of complicating an already-murky conversation around the disease. We then call upon the experts, starting with Sam (@samxendo on TikTok and @sam.endogram on Instagram), a 22-year-old stage 4 Endo Warrior, who has gained a social media following for her honest portrayal of what it’s like to live with endometriosis. We also hear from Dr. Dan Martin, Scientific and Medical Director at the Endometriosis Foundation (EndoFound), who helps us understand what can and should be expected from doctors when you’re exploring painful and confusing symptoms.
