This is gonna ruffle some feathers 🙈 Not everyone with endometriosis needs surgery
There, I said it
Excision over ablation 👏🏻 yes, always. But even the best excision doesn’t address why the tissue is growing back. Cutting out the symptom is not the same as addressing the cause
And this research gives us a very big clue about what one cause might be
Women with Lyme disease have nearly 2x the risk of endometriosis 💥 1.5x the risk of heavy periods 💥 1.42x the risk of fibroids 💥 1.62x the risk of miscarriage
So if you’re sitting with any of those diagnoses (or “unexplained” recurrent pregnancy loss) and nobody has ever asked about your immune system, your tick exposure history, or whether a chronic stealth infection might be driving the inflammation that’s fueling all of it…
You’re not getting the full picture
Heavy periods don’t come back after surgery because you didn’t cut enough. Fibroids don’t keep growing because your body is broken. There is always a reason
Standard testing won’t find it. That’s not a flaw in youit’s a flaw in the questions being asked to serve your health
We can ask better ones
