The Doctor Will See You Now: Recognizing and Treating Endometriosis (2nd Edition)
We deserve to be heard, to be genuinely cared for when we go to our medical professionals in pain. It is because of Dr. Seckin and his remarkable team that countless girls and women are now receiving the information and treatment that they need. —Bindi Irwin
Yes, your pain is real. No, you are not crazy. Yes, there is hope.
Severe pelvic pain, painful periods, pain with bowel movements, pain with sex, infertility and fatigue—these are only a few of endometriosis’s many symptoms. A full body disease that can easily affect a person's entire life—from career and relationships to sleep and diet—endometriosis has no cure, but it is highly treatable. Unfortunately, it is rarely treated in a timely manner, if at all, due to misdiagnosis or gaps in education within the medical community
The Doctor Will See You Now is for every person with this disease—from the thirteen-year-old girl who is being told that her pain is “part of becoming a woman” to the patient who has been misdiagnosed for decades—to know they are not alone.
The second edition includes five new chapters including information on thoracic and sciatic endometriosis, nine new patient stories, updates on fourteen previous patients, three new forewords, new resources, and new research as well as new treatment options for those living with the disease.
