Why endometriosis can take years to diagnose

Season 2025 Episode 40 | 6m 16s

It’s an illness where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows in places it’s not supposed to be, and can lead to infertility, debilitating pain and financial hardship. Ali Rogin spoke with gynecologic surgeon Dr. Laura Homewood for our ongoing series, “Unequal Treatment.”
