Millions are silently fighting endometriosis, yet this devastating disease still takes an average of seven years to diagnose. During that time, many lose moments of their lives, career opportunities, relationships, and even fertility to untreated pain.

In honor of Endometriosis Awareness Month, join Dr. Natalya Danilyants and Dr. Virginia Berndt for a powerful discussion on the medical and social costs of ignoring women’s pain. Together, they will explore the realities of endometriosis, including its symptoms, treatment options, socioeconomic impact, and the urgent need for greater awareness and advocacy.

The hour-long webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session, allowing you to have your questions answered directly by the experts.

Interstitial cystitis is not officially a gynecologic disorder, but it is a common cause of pelvic pain and frequently coexists with endometriosis. Up to 80 percent of women with chronic pelvic pain may have both conditions contributing to symptoms 🩺

IC symptoms often include bladder pressure, urgency, and pain with filling, while gynecologic pain is frequently cyclical and associated with bleeding or deep pelvic discomfort. Because neither condition reliably appears on routine imaging, diagnosis depends heavily on symptom recognition and specialist evaluation.

Persistent pelvic pain should never be dismissed simply because imaging appears normal.

Bladder pain and pelvic pain can feel almost identical — and many women experience both.

Patients with endometriosis often report urinary urgency, bladder pressure, pain with urination, or symptoms that resemble a recurrent bladder infection. These symptoms may be caused by interstitial cystitis, endometriosis affecting the bladder surface, or both conditions occurring together. Because these organs share the same pelvic space, distinguishing the source of pain can be challenging.

During laparoscopy for endometriosis, cystoscopy can be performed to evaluate the bladder lining and identify inflammation consistent with interstitial cystitis. Overlap conditions are common, and identifying all contributors is essential for meaningful relief.

Pelvic pain is often multifactorial, meaning that more than one condition may be present simultaneously. Interstitial cystitis is a chronic bladder pain syndrome that can mimic a urinary tract infection but does not respond to antibiotics. It frequently coexists with endometriosis, with overlap rates reported between 60 and 80 percent in patients with chronic pelvic pain 🩺

When evaluation focuses on only one organ system, bladder conditions or gynecologic disease may go unrecognized. Identifying all contributing causes is critical to meaningful pain relief 🔍

Pain medication may temporarily reduce discomfort, but it does not treat the cause of pelvic pain 🩺🔍

Chronic pelvic pain is most often driven by progressive conditions such as endometriosis and adenomyosis. These are structural diseases that continue to cause inflammation, bleeding, and nerve irritation if not properly diagnosed and treated.

When symptoms are masked instead of evaluated, the underlying condition can worsen over time. True relief does not come from suppressing pain. It comes from identifying and treating the source.

If pelvic pain is controlling your life, it is time to understand why.

Endometriosis pain is not random, and it is not just a bad period.

This condition occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, affecting pelvic structures with a rich nerve supply. As this tissue responds to hormonal changes, it causes inflammation, irritation, and scarring that lead to specific pain patterns many patients experience long before receiving a diagnosis.

Severe cyclic pelvic pain, deep pelvic pressure, pain with in*******se, and pain that worsens over time are common signs of endometriosis. Because this disease cannot be reliably identified on ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan, recognizing pain patterns is critical to avoiding delayed diagnosis and progressive disease.

Understanding how endometriosis pain presents is often the first step toward effective evaluation and treatment.

Adenomyosis causes pain and bleeding because the uterine lining bleeds into the muscle with each menstrual cycle 🩺

This process leads to increasing inflammation, uterine enlargement, severe cramping, heavy bleeding, anemia, and significant back pain. Because ultrasound often appears normal, adenomyosis is commonly missed or diagnosed late.

CIGC specialists rely on clinical symptoms and experience, with MRI used selectively, allowing earlier diagnosis and appropriate treatment before symptoms become incapacitating.

Not all pain during your cycle is the same. Understanding the difference between common menstrual discomfort and pelvic pain is critical.

Pelvic pain that is severe, persistent, or worsens over time is often caused by gynecologic conditions such as endometriosis or adenomyosis and is frequently missed by standard evaluations.

If pain controls your life, it is time for a specialist evaluation. Relief starts with understanding the cause.

Pelvic pain is not one size fits all, and the type of pain often provides important clues about its cause.

At CIGC, our specialists recognize that pelvic pain patterns such as cyclic pain, constant pain, sharp pain, or deep pain often reflect underlying gynecologic conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, or adhesions. These conditions are frequently missed or misdiagnosed.

Understanding pain patterns helps guide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, reducing unnecessary delays in care.

Pelvic pain is not rare, and it is not something women should be expected to live with.

Chronic pelvic pain refers to ongoing or recurring pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis that interferes with daily life, work, and emotional well-being. According to CIGC, the majority of pelvic pain is caused by gynecologic conditions such as endometriosis and adenomyosis that are frequently missed or misdiagnosed 🔍

When pelvic pain is ignored or attributed to the wrong cause, care is delayed, and symptoms often worsen over time. Seeing a specialist who understands how pelvic pain presents is an important step toward real answers and lasting relief 🩺

Many women with abnormal uterine bleeding are given information that delays effective treatment.

According to CIGC, medication does not remove fibroids or adenomyosis and is often a temporary solution. Watch and wait allows progressive conditions to worsen. Surgery is not always required, but when it is indicated, minimally invasive approaches can provide safe and effective long-term relief.

Understanding the diagnosis is the most important step, because the right treatment depends on knowing the cause💡

There is no single treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding. The right approach depends entirely on the cause.

At CIGC, non-surgical treatment may be appropriate for certain diagnoses, such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding or temporary symptom control when fertility is desired. However, medical therapy does not remove fibroids or adenomyosis, and relief is often temporary.

For many causes of abnormal bleeding, including fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, polyps, hyperplasia, or cancer, surgery may provide the most effective long-term relief. A clear diagnosis allows treatment to be tailored to each patient’s needs and goals.
