In this episode of Endo Warriors, host Callie Greenberg and Jamie Silva talk with Carly Turner, a PhD student and endometriosis advocate, about her decades-long struggle with pelvic pain, misdiagnoses, and the limits of common treatments.

Carly shares her experience with confusing imaging, risky surgery by an underqualified provider, and the difficult decisions around hormonal drugs and their side effects. The conversation highlights the importance of finding experienced specialists and seeking second opinions.

The episode also explores less-visible options—nerve blocks, pelvic floor therapies, suppositories, and community support—and encourages patients to research treatments, trust their bodies, and find allies in their care journey.

Emma's story reveals how endometriosis can silently take over a young woman's life. At just 19, she endured years of misdiagnoses, dismissive providers, and invasive surgeries, all while fighting to be heard. Emma's journey from stubborn pain and ignorance to empowerment and advocacy is a powerful reminder: no one should accept "normal" pain when it's a sign of something more serious.

In this episode, Emma shares how her early symptoms escalated unnoticed—pain so intense she was crying on the floor, irregular cycles, GI issues—and how she confidently challenged the medical system that failed to listen. You'll discover the critical importance of patient advocacy, the pitfalls of relying solely on hormonal treatments, and the value of finding a compassionate, knowledgeable specialist. Emma also dives into her college experiences navigating her health, her decision to start an awareness movement on social media, and her vision for transforming women's health through policy and education.

We break down the often-overlooked systemic issues: medical complacency, gaps in healthcare provider training, and the urgent need for comprehensive women's health curricula. Emma's story highlights the missed opportunities for early detection and the life-changing possibilities of timely, specialized care. Her perspective offers hope and a call to action for anyone feeling dismissed or overwhelmed by their symptoms.

This episode is perfect for young women, students, parents, and healthcare professionals alike.
