Hello, I would greatly appreciate helping to develop a better education system for our doctors to learn about Endometriosis. It took me 17 years to get diagnosed. Doctors are not taught the warning signs and it takes an average of 10 years for a woman to be diagnosed. Additionally, endometriosis care is considered out of network because they refuse to include it in the health care coding system. There are never enough funds going to Endometriosis research and Endometriosis is the leasing cause of infertility. A lot of women dont know they have it until they go through IVF but MANY women experience excruiating pain on a daily basis throughout all regions of her body.

More research on care without the need for a Hysterectomy there should be no need for a <20 yr old woman to have her parts removed and no longer able to have children (some women feel like they are no longer a woman after this)

Yes! More funding towards finding the cause and most importantly, a cure!
Yes - I had this which was cause for infertility and PCOS. Insurance should cover these issues even though they are infertility treatments they are also health issues. I believe infertility should be covered with insurance or have some sort of tax credit for families under going treatment similar to an adoption tax credit.
Women need better solutions for women’s health issues. And treatment should be available and insured, the same way that a GI chronic health issue would be considered serious.
Women need research to find solutions that don’t harm fertility. Right now, the primary cure-all is birth control. Young women want solutions that don’t sterilize them.
