49 – Endometriosis, dismissal and the fight to be heard

In this episode for Endometriosis Awareness Month, Dr Louise Newson is joined by author and women’s health advocate Evelyn Scott to share her personal experience of living with endometriosis, a condition affecting one in ten women that remains widely misunderstood, under-recognised and frequently dismissed.

Together, Louise and Evelyn explore why endometriosis is not simply a gynaecological condition but a complex inflammatory disease and how gaps in research, outdated guidelines and lack of education continue to leave many women without answers or effective support. They also discuss the important role hormones may play, why listening to patients is critical, and how women can begin to advocate for themselves in a system that doesn’t always hear them.
