How many of your patients might have endometriosis… and no one has said it out loud yet?
Because that’s happening. A lot.
In this episode, Nicole sits down with one of the only physicians in the country trained in both endometriosis excision surgery and reproductive endocrinology—Dr. Sadikah Behbehani.
And this conversation pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening with endo, fertility, and patient care.
We cover:
👉 Why endometriosis is still massively underdiagnosed (and often missed—even in fertility clinics)
👉 The difference between suspecting endo vs actually confirming it
👉 Why surgery is still the gold standard—and when it matters most
👉 The role pelvic PT plays (before AND after surgery)
👉 What REIs are often missing—and why
👉 How endometriosis impacts fertility, miscarriage risk, and pregnancy outcomes
👉 When conservative care is helpful… and when it’s delaying necessary treatment
Because as pelvic rehab providers…
👉 We’re often the first ones to connect the dots
👉 The first ones to say the word “endometriosis”
👉 And the first chance patients have to get the right care
