Rethinking how we treat endometriosis | Linda Griffith | TEDxMIT

About 10% of women have endometriosis, yet molecular subtypes and non-hormonal therapies have yet to be defined, leaving tens of millions of women around the world suffering. At MIT, scientists in Biological Engineering are working with surgeons around the world to define molecular subtypes related to immune and invasion networks using a combination of experimental and machine learning approaches. Patients are then reconstructed from tissue biopsies, to test the mechanistic hypotheses about new non-hormonal therapies.

I’m so relieved to hear people are actually working to try to understand this. I just wish the doctors I’ve tried to get help from wouldn’t automatically gaslight me. I wish they were in this century.

I'm researching about endometriosis and you literally got to be your own advocate. Doctors just looked at me like I was crazy. My doctor didn't tell me what endometriosis really is , what causes it and the damage it can do to other parts of your body. I'm having random pains and don't know why. Didn't know about foods to stay away from.

I don’t understand how a disease that is so debilitating, so painful , can cause you to lose insides and reduces quality of life is under funded and over looked. This disease is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!

You will be the only one to advocate for YOU! You stay strong & debamd the drs do their jobs... I was able to finally get the laparoscopy surgery ( investigative b.c they suspected endometriosis as we've been struggling to get pregnant & I've lost 3 ) they did find very mild endometriosis in the ovarian cavity & not even the tubes or uterus. I was having such bad periods & it was only so mild. Some women have it severe & don't have symptoms at all. It's such a crazy disease. But we are finding now it is an estrogen dominant condition, so hormonal imbalance. I'm glad they are touching more on this

Endometriosis is a fully reversible condition. It is mostly caused by a high-carbohydrate diet. Carbs = inflamation + insulin = hormone disruption = endometriosis Fastest and safest way to completely reverse endometriosis is to stop eating carbs. In other words, try the carnivore (or keto) diet for three months. I guarantee you that your life will be completely changed for the better if you do carnivore for just 90 days. Look up Dr. Kiltz. He is a fertility doc that combines cutting edge western medicine with diet to recover fertility. You don't need to be on birth control. You don't need surgery. You don't need to live with that pain and suffering. Change your diet and in 90 days you'll feel like you have a completely different body.

[@leslieread556]

Thank you. I had a radical hysterectomy all due to pain. At first the surgeon did not think he could convince the insurance to cover for 'pain only'...but he DID! Half my life from 6th grade had been consumed with the dread of debilitating pain which, back in the mid-60's, was 'in my head.' My daughter unfortunately shares the same ordeal. When the surgeon was finished with me he said he has never before seen a liver tethered down by endometriosis. During the laparoscopic surgery he freed as much of the liver as he could without coming dangerously close to the heart. For the first time I got my life back in my mid-50's but have been on low dose estrogen since the mid-60's when they knew of no other way to treat this dreaded pain...a pain that clocks in a *multiple times* the natural birthing pain. Thank you for your dedication to such important research that will surely benefit a great many women if for no other reason than being, finally, heard. 🌷🙏

Thank you so much for instigating this research!! We also need to find a way to train doctors on at least awareness of symptoms and to recognize when to refer patients to specialists rather than ignorantly telling them it's nothing or telling them when they ask about endo that nope, it couldn't be that!!! Oh the years of suffering of these patients. It is anger provoking, to put it mildly!!! I've been walking with my daughter thru this journey and it's beyond belief!!!

My Twin sister Patty had endometriosis. She died of an accidental drug overdose about 4 years ago. Her life ended in vain. She was an incredible person that got beat down relentlessly, fighting it seems at all levels. The suffering I pray for all you women that God take all your pains and worries away. I miss my Twin so terribly and finding this on accident I believe is no accident. Patty must be close by now.

[@jaeljade3609]

I was told that my pain was endometriosis and had surgery that really helped the pain, but then year's later I had a hysterectomy and the doctor said she saw no endometriosis. I was thoroughly confused. This is such a painful thing to have if that's what I had. Even small amounts are really bad. I hope they continue to find help for people. It really took a toll on my life.

[@MunaSoto]

If I may ask, why did they choose to do a hysterectomy? And if it wasn't endo, what was it? In my case, I have endometriosis, PCOS (which for now is controlled), and fibroids. I was lucky but every time I went through surgery, they would make me sign a term in which a hysterectomy was an option in case anything went wrong. Hugs from South America.

[@miad6160]

I’ve seen women who had surgeries and doctors tell them they don’t have endo, but then they go to another doctor and that doctor says they do. Some doctors are more educated than others on how to spot it, especially because there’s not a lot known about it nor taken seriously:(

[@miad6160]

Endo is unfortunately very common, even with the little known knowledge. Doctors often leave many women undiagnosed

Female animals often benefit from being spayed, why are we the outlier? Are we actually an outlier? Or are we just not listened to?

[@jaeljade3609]

@@miad6160 true, and this was many years ago. The doctor who did the hysterectomy nearly killed me so I should take that into consideration. I ended up hemorrhaging, having bags of blood, and three more "procedure's". After all that I ended up with painful scar tissue webbing all over my abdomen and surgery to try to remove what they could. I felt like no one was believing me about anything!

Awesome research! I'm excited to see what y'all find out with adenomyosis. I'm 26 and just had endo excision and diagnosis and hysterectomy. I came back negative for endo (though several adhesions were removed and tested) but positive for adenomyosis. I tell people they're practically the same except the location of the tissue growth.

[@Kittypaws90]

This is great for you to do this. I’ve been brushed off by SEVERAL doctors regarding the pain I experience. Including women doctors. The last couple year the extreme abdominal and back pain has been persistent as ever but I’ve also developed nausea and constipation. The constipation starts before my period and lasts until after my period. It feels like my whole body is turning against me really. For a long time I was thinking maybe I have PCOS I have a new friend I was talking to and I was telling her about this and she told me to look into endometriosis and I have. Now I’m like omg do I have this? I got my period when I was 8. I’m 32 now and all my life I’m dying from pain when I bleed. It’s awful. I’ve consulted several doctors about this experience including gynecologists and an endocrinologist and nothing came from it other than they think I’m some kind of hypochondriac. 😢

[@gracieb.3054]

First, let me say that I am so sorry that you have had to live like this. I understand. I am 49 and have both PCOS & endometriosis, which was surgically diagnosed. Sadly, many doctors do not understand endometriosis. It's been awhile since someone brushed it off. You need to find a OB/gyn that specializes in pelvic pain. Mine is Dr. Julia Keltz in Mamaroneck, NY. Reproductive endocrinologist's, in my opinion, just want to get you to pay for expensive fertility treatments. Unfortunately, you have to be the most informed and your strongest advocate. If the doctors in your area do not believe you, print out some data on endometriosis. Tell them you have all the symptoms. They will likely start you on some kind of birth control, b/c they are supposed to regulate your hormones. Endo is in large part mediated by estrogen. I am too sensitive to estrogen, so I have been on Medroxyprogesterone. I also found that Spironolactone helped my endo b/c it helped reduce testosterone imbalance from PCOS. The progesterone stopped my periods, which relatively helped with the pain. I say relatively, b/c I have pain nearly all the time; I think b/c I went so long being undiagnosed. Early diagnosis is really important, so you need to get this taken care of stat. Frankly, your endo sounds so bad that if I were you, I'd get excision surgery and then start a regimen of progesterone daily to stop you from getting periods. Unless you are trying to get pregnant. Still, get excision surgery, & maybe one ovary removed, combined with hormonal suppression might bring you to a state of relief. I myself am hoping to get excision surgery from Dr. Lora Liu in NYC. There aren't a ton of excision surgeons out there, but excision is supposed to be the best at removing much or all of the endometriotic lesions. Surgery is also considered the only definitive way at diagnosing endo. Though I've heard that specific kinds of MRI can see where the endo is. What else? I take cyclobenzaprine (a muscle relaxer) as needed for pelvic spasms. It feels like a pulling sensation and it's like cramps on steroids. I also tried Lupron, which didn't help and dr. didn't tell me I'd need to be on 1mg of Estradiol (estrogen). When I added it, my insides freaked out. I felt like I had cuts in my abdomen and many places in body, especially pelvis. Now they have a pill form of something similar to Lupron called 'Orlissa'. I also tried an IUD that would release progesterone, but my uterus did nothing but spasm. I've never been pregnant, so the uterus is more likely to reject it if you haven't been. As soon as she yanked it out the pain stopped. A heating pad can be surprisingly helpful since it relaxes the muscles that are tensed up from pain. I also avoid eating soy or flax, b/c they are very estrogenic and I notice they cause my pelvic pain to flare. That, of course, could be different for each person. I have been advised to get pelvic physical therapy, but I've been dealing with other med issues that take precedent, such as my diabetes. Thankfully, at 49 I seem to be in peri-menopause and at times the pain seems to go into remission. Seriously, I can't wait for full menopause. So there's my lifetime's worth of knowledge about endo! Finding the right doctors and getting the right treatments is at times like finding a needle in a haystack, so I hope it helps some of you and saves you some of the difficulty that comes with having this disease. Lastly, be gentle on yourself. You didn't do anything to deserve this disease. So try to enjoy life as much as you can when you are not sick. Be good to yourself. You are not your disease. 💜

[@skyhoward2050]

Sounds JUST LIKE MY SYMPTOMS. Especially constipation and nausea on top of the intense pain in my abdomen but even more so in my back..I was finally diagnosed with stage 3 endo in 2020 after 20 years of suffering. Still working on getting long term treatment but excision surgeries were life changing for me and will probably continue to be until menopause so having another option like talked about in this sounds promising..

Im now on biologics for my Axial spa. I wonder if this will also alleviate my gynae issues at the same time. I do believe it’s a combination of gene variants and immune problems.

I’m 33 with endometriosis and it kills me before menstrual, during menstrual and after menstrual… I’m not getting married because of this… I got my period when I was 9 and pain same …. It kills me everry time … what should I do ???

[@carlakoogler2270]

Contact Endo surgeon Dr Andrew cook and his team at vital health endometriosis center in Durango colorado. He moved there from Cali so don't get confused if it says he's in Cali. I had surgery with him in the fall of last year. Best experience ever.

Treatment for endometriosis is taking the contraceptive pill for a year,without the pause days for the bleed. take a pill everyday.After 10 yrs with endo and 2 surgeries,I am now cured for the last 5 years.I repeat. I am not on the pill now. was only for a year. inducing a menopause with the contraceptive pill,the endometriosis cells will die and will not return. it was a blessing for me.

[@newlife.vanessacalfan]

good for you, the pill didn't help me

[@newlife.vanessacalfan]

@C19H17NO3 my everything

[@badassmomofteens4611]

@May Moreshet it is only for one year to take the pill. after that,endometriosis is cured. without a period,the endo cells die and it goes away

[@badassmomofteens4611]

@C19H17NO3 so sorry to hear that.

[@badassmomofteens4611]

@@newlife.vanessacalfan did you try as I said? you must induce a menopause in order for the endometriosis cells to die. so take the pill for 6 months,a year,without having a bleed all this time. endometriosis will go away

1995 Surgery for Endo took a life-threatening 10cm 'cyst,' with the dominant rt. ovary. (...i thot i had 'food-poisoning,' for a month prior !!! NO: E.R., overnight, instead... 'surprise' ! :( 30 years later: are my low-to-high-level stomach-aches, from the hernia of that surgery, or more of same endo. returning ? i was doing some longevity supps., such as Nattokinase, but now stopping all supps., due to month long 'adversity' with this... Thank you for the INFO !!! (yep, they were horrific menses, but on a 29-day precise clock...😂 (

[@d.t.r.8036]

Not genetic? How do you explain it showing in multiple generations of a family?

[@Krifpumpumkrify]

That's what I was searching for. The addendum about saying it isn't genetic. All valid studies indicate that if someone in your bloodline has it, you are at a high probability of having it. Maybe they have been able to disprove this and cam with certainty point to epigenetic or environmental factors. If they have found that out though I think it would be bigger news.

Intergenerational trauma impacts autoimmune function

[@KxNOxUTA]

I don't think this says that it's not genetic, but rather that the way to address the problem is not by addressing/looking at the genes. They're searching for way to cure ppl and not to "just" research things likegenes. Because what use is it to know you have genes that put you atr risk of endo. Now what? It's empty information X'D

[@Tonyforeman659]

I came here to learn how to invest after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $960,000 in 4 months from $160k, somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm still confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.

[@Maricel_oronan]

Interesting. I have a lump sum doing absolutely nothing at all in my bank account, I wanna get something started with it. You seem to be doing excellent for yourself, how do you achieve this?

[@Tonyforeman659]

@Doukas Amal Hello Do you trade on your own?

[@Tonyforeman659]

@Doukas Amal That's impressive. Are you giving her your money or the money stays in your trading account? What's really the idea behind copying trades.

[@Tonyforeman659]

@Doukas Amal Is her service available outside of the US? As her broker is registered in the US.

Infertility can be a result of chronic inflammation...where does the inflammation come from? What you put in your mouth. People just haven't been told the importance of macro nutrients! Protein and fats ...that's it!!!!! Heal with proper nutrition. 😊

[@KxNOxUTA]

Diets can b helpful but they are not a cure-it-all and a one-size-fits-all solution for patients.

[@kezzokav5905]

Completely agree. I have stage 4 endo. I'm starting a whole foods diet next week onwards. What you put in your mouth means EVERYTHING. Dr McGregor's 'How not to die' really helped me to see this.

[@kezzokav5905]

10000000% agree. What we eat means EVERYTHING.
