Thank you
I just had been diagnosed after 5 years of being “perfectly healthy” and so far I have listened to first two episodes and I related to every single word. Thank you for bringing awareness and support!

Brilliant podcast
It’s as if you were taking about me - the podcast about the uncontrolled diarrhoea beside the jeep and how embarrassed you were and how this disease is not my fault and I’m fed up of feeling like it is, or I’ve done something wrong and people ie loved ones around me thinking that I’m not that bad and sure the pain can’t be that bad and doubting myself - so thank you 💕

More information please
This podcast is somewhat helpful, albeit could be much more helpful if more time were given to actual information regarding endometriosis, it’s various types and where it manifests in the body, coping tips, lifestyle changes and adaptations Too much time wasted on insistent giggling and banter between the hosts. A little fun/banter is helpful putting this disease in prospective, but the hosts take it too far and it becomes a distraction from their message.

I'm 48yo and lived with undiagnosed endometriosis for 36 years. This disease is real and as bad as it is, the psychological effects of it can be so much worse. Since my diagnosis almost two years ago, I have relentlessly struggled against the medical current to advocate for myself and find people who listen and want to help. I'm scheduled for excision surgery and bowel resection in a week and I really needed the encouragement I found here. I know I have a long road ahead to travel, but thank God... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

167. Lesser Talked About Aspects of Endometriosis Surgery with Dr. Lora Liu

Q: What are the most common complications patients ask about, and how do you address long-term outcomes like urinary dysfunction or LARS after bowel involvement?

The top concerns are the potential need for a colostomy, loss of uterus, or loss of ovaries, but in practice these are rare or temporary, especially with high-volume teams. Long-term issues like urinary dysfunction or LARS can occur, but many patients improve over six months to a year with pelvic floor PT and sometimes nerve-sparing techniques. We emphasize that outcomes vary and that a comprehensive, team-based plan reduces risk and supports recovery.

167. Lesser Talked About Aspects of Endometriosis Surgery with Dr. Lora Liu

Q: What criteria do you use to decide when to proceed with excision, and how do you handle cases where the medical therapy might still be a viable option?

I start with a detailed discussion with the patient, recognizing it's their decision. Often patients have already pursued conservative therapies without full relief, and imaging isn't a sole deciding factor. I assess whether the disease is surgical and whether excision would meaningfully improve their quality of life while considering their goals and access to care; in some cases, conservative management remains reasonable.

167. Lesser Talked About Aspects of Endometriosis Surgery with Dr. Lora Liu

Q: And so, could you tell us a little about your journey as an excision surgeon and when you felt confident in your skills?

My confidence grew gradually after fellowship and, critically, by integrating a multidisciplinary team in the OR. The safety net provided by specialists like urologists and colorectal surgeons allowed me to push for complete disease clearance while minimizing nerve and tissue damage. Over a couple of years, with this team-based approach, I felt more secure that I could handle complex cases minimally invasively and with good outcomes.

166. Endo Standard of Care with Judith Chavarría from Nicaragua

Q: What has living with endometriosis taught you?

It has taught me patience, resilience, and the importance of advocating for myself in healthcare.

166. Endo Standard of Care with Judith Chavarría from Nicaragua

Q: What advice do you want to give to people with endometriosis?

My advice would be to never give up advocating for your health and to seek multiple opinions until you find the right care.
