💬 This was a raw, unfiltered conversation about pelvic pain with Dr Sula Windgassen and (Endometriosis Foundation), where we discussed personal experiences navigating endometriosis and vulvodynia - the years of not being heard, finally getting diagnosed, and finding a way through.
A conversation for anyone living with endometriosis, vulvodynia, vaginismus, and any pelvic pain condition.
And it's one that clinicians really need to hear.
A person living with pain is more than their symptoms. It's time to truly listen.
Pain doesn't exist in isolation. It lives alongside fear, anxiety, stress, loss - and years, sometimes, of not being heard.
When we only treat the body part, we miss the whole picture and other factors that can be amplifying symptoms.
💛 Whole-person care means asking what else is going on. What matters to the person living with pain.
Explore what else may be amplifying their pain beyond just looking at the physical body part. And crucially - actually listening to the answers.
The voices of people living with pain need to be heard. And they deserve clinicians who can hold space and show up for all of it.
Carla, thank you for your openness and honesty in this conversation. And Dr Sula for choosing to highlight such important topics. 💙🙏🏾
