Dawn interviewed on understanding endometriosis by WFLA NBC Tampa - The Bloom Show

What Is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a common but often misdiagnosed condition that affects up to 15% of women. It occurs when endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, leading to inflammation, scar tissue, and a range of painful symptoms. If left untreated, endometriosis can cause chronic pelvic pain, heavy periods, painful urination, and even infertility.

What Causes Endometriosis? The Hormonal Imbalance Connection

Endometriosis is largely driven by hormonal imbalances—specifically, low progesterone and high estrogen.

  • Chronic stress raises cortisol levels, which depletes progesterone—a hormone that normally helps inhibit extra tissue growth.
  • Without enough progesterone, estrogen remains unchecked, allowing endometrial tissue to continue growing and causing pain and inflammation.

Many women go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed because they don’t recognize the signs. A proper endoscopy is often needed for an accurate diagnosis.
