Say, I have pain and you need to give me a pelvic ultrasound order.
And if you don't, I'm going to go do it somewhere else or I'm going to go to another doctor.
Most doctors want to help.
They're not there to hurt you.
They're there to help you.
Sometimes if they don't think of it, maybe reminding them that this could be an endometriosis is the first step.
They're your advocate.
They want to help you.
So guide them in the right direction.
Ask for that pelvic ultrasound.
Ask for that egg count.
And when it comes to endometriosis, a normal ultrasound does not mean you don't have endometriosis.
A normal pelvic MRI does not mean you don't have endometriosis.
Endometriosis can be minimal, mild, moderate, or severe.
And we stage it.
One, two, three, four.
The higher the stage, the more
involvement, the more aggressive the endometriosis is.
Endometriosis can be superficial.
These implants can be superficial in the pelvis.
