Some of the most meaningful advances in medicine begin with patients and families who refuse to accept the status quo. I am deeply grateful to the O'Malley family for their vision, generosity, and determination to help us better understand this disease.

This morning I saw Lorena, now two months after surgery for thoracic endometriosis. Hearing patients describe how their lives have changed after treatment is always meaningful, especially after years of living with symptoms that have taken so much from them.

There is no single approach that fits every patient. Treatment decisions are always individualized and based on the person sitting in front of you, their symptoms, their disease, and their goals. But what I always want patients to know is this: there is reason to have hope.

Pain does not have to define your future, and life can look very different than it does today.

Lorena, I wish you continued healing and a future filled with health, strength, and many pain-free days ahead.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Ten years ago, I wrote “The Doctor Will See You Now” with a message I wanted every patient to hear: your pain is real, you are not imagining it, and there is hope.

I’m grateful to now share the newly republished second edition, updated with new research, expanded chapters on thoracic and sciatic endometriosis, and lessons learned from years of caring for patients and continuing to study this disease.

I’m also proud that all proceeds from the book will support and its mission to advance research, education, and advocacy.

I am deeply honored to be recognized as a 2026 Super Doctor and to celebrate Dr. being named a Rising Star honoree. Recognition from peers is meaningful, but the true reward has always been the patients who trust us with their care and the opportunity to advance the understanding and treatment of endometriosis.

For decades, our work has extended beyond the operating room. We have cared for patients, trained physicians, challenged outdated thinking, and worked to move the field forward. Progress in medicine is built through experience, education, and a commitment to never stop learning.

To every patient who has shared their story and every colleague who has helped push this work forward: thank you. This recognition belongs to all of us.

For many in the endometriosis community, hearing the word “endometriosis” included in a national conversation around women’s health is meaningful.

Progress in this field has never happened overnight. It is the result of years of advocacy from patients, physicians, researchers, and organizations working tirelessly to push this disease out of the shadows and into the broader public health conversation.

At EndoFound, our mission has always been nonpartisan and patient-centered: advancing research, education, early diagnosis, and access to proper care for those living with endometriosis.

Just four days after surgery, hearing a patient say she is finally experiencing relief is deeply meaningful.

Before surgery, she lived with relentless sciatic pain, back pain, pelvic pain, and sleepless nights spent tossing and turning in discomfort. During her procedure, we excised 27 endometriosis lesions throughout the pelvis and carefully decompressed both the sciatic and pudendal nerves.

This is why meticulous excision matters. Endometriosis can affect far more than the reproductive organs, often involving nerves and deeply impacting quality of life. My hope for her is continued healing and a future defined not by pain, but by freedom from it.

Gynecologic pain remains underrecognized and underfunded. Conversations like this are essential to advancing research, sharing new findings, and shaping better care for those living with , , and related conditions.

This virtual event is free and open to all. I hope you’ll join us. Registration: https://www.nichd.nih.gov/about/meetings/2026/051226

There are moments in medicine that stay with you.

After surgery, I asked Olivia () a simple question: “How did you live like this?”

For years, she had normalized her pain, minimized it, questioned it, even feared that we might not find anything at all. That is the reality for so many patients. When pain is dismissed long enough, it becomes internalized.

But the truth is this: severe pain is not normal. And in many cases, it reflects advanced disease.

Findings such as a frozen pelvis and vaginal endometriosis do not develop overnight. They are the result of years of progression often while patients are told nothing is wrong.

This is why listening matters. This is why proper diagnosis matters. And this is why excision, when performed thoroughly and transparently, can be life-changing.

Olivia, thank you for your honesty and for sharing your experience. It is through voices like yours that others begin to recognize their own and seek the care they deserve.

We move forward with hope for healing, and for a future where pain is no longer normalized.
