“Anxiety and depression are common in women with endometriosis. They may see a psychiatrist before they actually get to diagnosing the endometriosis. I think we need more awareness of the systemic effects of endometriosis.”
What Hugh Taylor, MD has said
“"Uterine fibroids become symptomatic or problematic in about a third of those [with fibroids]" and "If someone has painful periods that are gradually getting worse, [the majority of the time] that's endometriosis. Since the treatments are mild, why not just give someone a trial treatment and see if they get better, proving it is endometriosis?"”

“We finally have a way to detect this disease that is so often ignored and misdiagnosed. We can prove that these patients have endometriosis in an earlier stage so they can get the treatment they need and get their lives back on track.”

“Being a reproductive endocrinologist, I often see women with endometriosis either because of their pain or because of their infertility issues. It was very frustrating to me seeing many of these women having suffered with this disease for a long time before it was accurately diagnosed.”

“This gives us a window to potentially understand why some endometriosis causes pain, and it will be the starting point for investigations that help us treat that pain in a better way.”
