Is Your Endometriosis Worsened by Stress? The Surprising Role of the Immune System | Dr. Mills, MD

[@shellianmayne]

Thank you for all these videos. I’ve learn so much. I’ve been on depo provera for 12 + years because of endometriosis pain. I’m planning on coming off because of bone loss. I’m changing up my diet and going to try some of your supplements recommendations.

Wow, I am SO PROUD of you! It takes courage to make a change - you are so brave, congratulations. Wishing you the best!!

Dear Dr. Mills, I hope you will read this, because after the aromatase information (the active enzyme transforming testosterone into estrogen) I do wonder now about the testosterone, like: does that mean there may have also been too much testosterone (being able then to transform into estrogen) build up AND/OR may the testosterone levels been "normal" and the endometriosis leaves the women then with a lack of this hormone, being testosterone? - Thank you sooo much for your work and effort, it is greatly appreciated

[@dr.patriciamills]

Hi! Either situation is possible but fortunately the approach to normalizing aromatase also helps testosterone levels and general hormone balance 🙌🏼

I love your channel. I’m so glad I it. I wanted to let you know that diaphragmatic and thoracic endometriosis is actually not that rare at all. I am not 100% sure where you get your information from. I know it’s always credible sources, but if you ever want to truly do a deep dive, diaphragmatic and diaphragmatic and thoracic area is not that rare at all. Do you still see patients? I would like to make an appointment. I’ve been searching for a functional doctor for a few years. I hope you have a great day.

Hi! Thanks for the information - I have to say that in all my years of practice I had never heard or come across it, however probably if one has it one then meets many other people with it and the experience is not felt to be rare! I do not take patients outside of B.C. because of licencing requirements, I help women through my health promotion programs internationally :) hope this helps!

@@dr.patriciamills several excision surgeons in the US have at least 50% of their patience with diaphragmatic and thoracic endometriosis. Thank you so much for what you do and helping others and educating them. I will continue my search for a great functional doctor just like yourself.

Thank you for your videos. They are so helpful. I am following a whole food plant based diet to control symptoms. Which has worked for years. I had stress at my work place and this possibly contributed in the symptoms to coming back. Recent scan showed many cysts and lesions . How often in your opinion should you have to check your cysts for cancer. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

[@dr.patriciamills]

Hi, thank you for your feedback and for sharing your story ❤️ I am not familiar with how often cysts should be checked for cancer, I wish I had a great answer for you. It likely depends on a number of factors that the doctors providing your care have to take into consideration. Sending you healing vibes!
