You can't really study.

That's why I'm telling you it's not 10%.

I get so upset when people say 10%.

I'm like, it's not 10% because think about it.

15% of women have PCOS, which I think is more.

And I think half of those patients have endometriosis.

So that's just the PCOS group.

And then I think in the general population, if I had to guess, I would say north of 20% have endometriosis.

And I feel like with- It's a huge number.

Huge.

It's enormous.

That's why I'm here to tell you this is not some zebra diagnosis.

This affects every family in every single person can think of someone in their life who either has PCOS, PCOS and endometriosis or endometriosis.

There's no way if you close your eyes and think that you cannot think of someone like that.

There's no such human because they're everywhere.

There are millions of these women, but they are all dismissed and they are told for years and years that they're crazy.

And that needs to stop.

If I hear one more doctor or healthcare provider or physician assistant or anyone call a woman crazy, like literally I want to turn this world upside down.

Especially women.

And I will tell you, 30 years in women's health, 25 years in private practice, when a woman tells you something's wrong, 99% of the time something's wrong.
