Join host Nicole Notar as she welcomes Dr. Mallory Stuparich, a minimally invasive gynecologic surgery specialist, of Endometriosis Surgical Specialists International for an in-depth discussion about endometriosis treatment.

This episode demystifies the critical differences between ablation and excision surgical techniques, explaining why excision is considered the gold standard for long-term relief.

Dr. Stuparich addresses common questions from patients who've had unsuccessful ablation procedures and offers practical guidance on next steps.

We challenge the misconception that excision surgery should be a "last resort" and we explore the potential benefits of earlier intervention.

Listeners will gain valuable insights on identifying qualified specialists, preparing for consultations, recognizing warning signs of suboptimal care, and implementing effective post-surgical strategies to minimize adhesions and manage symptoms.

Whether you're considering surgical options or seeking to better understand your treatment journey, this episode provides essential education for making informed decisions about your endometriosis care.
