Endometriosis has been documented in the nose, eyes, brain, skin, inguinal canal, wrists & surgical scars. If disease follows the cycle outside the pelvis, is it truly “pelvic”? Are we looking widely enough to find it? #EndometriosisAwareness #WomensHealth #DrVimeeBindra

Endometriosis isn’t one disease — it’s many forms, many symptoms, many challenges. That’s why diagnosis gets delayed. One-size-fits-all treatments don’t work. specialist-led care is essential. Each patient needs a tailored approach. #drvimeebindra #endometriosis #pcos

Another day, another patient diagnosed with IC as a teenager who actually had endometriosis the whole time and was finally diagnosed at 30 years old. I see this patient over and over and over and over and over. In my mind bladder pain is endometriosis until I prove otherwise.

THORACIC ENDOMETRIOSIS: An interesting finding of endometriosis affecting the thoracic diaphragm . Interestingly the laparoscopic view of the diaphragm did not show any endometriosis lesions . This obviously cannot be explained by retrograde menstruation. #thoracicendometriosis
