#17: Endometriosis, Excision Surgery and Quality of Life with Dr. Vimee Bindra

Hello Uterus

We all have the right to a high quality of life, but when pain gets in the way, that quality of life can quickly go downhill. Endometriosis may cause severe uterine pain that affects one’s personal health, self-image, relationships, career...let's face it, endo has no boundaries. This week's episode is a reminder that quality of life is as important as quantity.

Starting with this week’s Hear Me, Hear Me! Are you and your doctor a perfect match? Chances are you might not be! To overcome your uterine pain and transform your quality of life, find a doctor who has gone the extra mile to specialize in some aspect of chronic uterine conditions (We LOVE our OBs, but fibroids aren't babies!). Get the details on what to look out for when seeking a gynecologist. After listening to our expert guest this week, your standards for gynecologists will be raised. We are joined by wonderful gynecologist and excision surgeon Dr. Vimee Bindra, who focuses ONLY on endometriosis in her practice. Our conversation dips into why specialization in gynecology is important for a patient’s quality of life, all things endometriosis, and a detailed walk-through of excision surgery–the gold standard for the removal of endometriosis.

Lastly, we end on a high note from the UK. Ziggy Stardust returns in this CAT-astrophic tale! And over a decade later, can you believe that?

Thanks for listening, learning, and being you. And join us back here every Tuesday for all things uterus, in service to you, uterinekind.
