Nowhere is this more evident than in the treatment of endometriosis.
It seems like even gynaecologists are woefully ignorant & untrained in this disease, leading to so much unnecessary suffering by women (my wife included).
Guys & gals, if you or your partner suffer from endometriosis, listen up!
* Find the best gynaecologist you can that specialises in endo & can perform excision surgery.
* Burning off the lesions (ablation) is not an effective treatment. Excision surgery is by far the most effective current treatment. Unfortunately, it seems like many gynaecologists do not have the training to perform this surgery, and therefore don't even mention it (lest they lose your valuable business).
* There is absolutely zero evidence that pregnancy "cures" endometriosis, despite doctors continually repeating this myth. My wife's awesome gyno told us - and you can research yourself - that this is absolute rubbish.
It causes me to wonder when I go see a doctor, what else are they ignorant about? I like to think I can defer to their expertise, and set my mind to other things. Maybe not.
