I always kind of hoped that Bindi would have one day become more hands on in what she did more akin to Steve. Not to the extent of jumping on crocs and flingin' snakes around, but I always hoped to one day see her on tv out in the bush teaching me about Australian wildlife with that same passionate look on her face,
These are very advanced procedures that require surgeon habilities most endometriosis surgeons don't have. This is a major problem since the number of patients with parametrial endometriosis involving sacral roots is too high for all of them to operated by rare surgeons like Horace Roman. The learning curve of the surgeon is very long and expensive. That's one of the reasons this surgery is so expensive. Big problem, huge responsability.
I'm 44yrs old and I have had Endometriosis and PCOS all my life. All I ever wanted to be was a mother but after i got married and my husband and I tried for 5yrs to conceive with no results, I knew i had to do something. I live in Texas and luckily enough I had an expert right in town! (Key word- EXPERT!) not your regular GYN or OBGYN, No you have to see a specialist or they won't help! I got my surgery and a couple years later i had my son, then later i went on to have 2 daughters. Finding the right doctor is key! Endometriosis has been around for a long time, we don't have to suffer, we just have to speak up!
My father was telling his friend (obgyn) all of my problems. The doctor said I should be seen for endometriosis. I am so glad he suggested it because I had been looking for answers for years. My surgeon said I was too young to have endometriosis at 23yrs old. They did the surgery and the doctor said “you were right.” I cried because I was so happy! This validated my pain, excess bleeding, and more.
I have watched Bindi growing up and never knew she was in such pain for so long. How could it go that long undiagnosed?! She is a real trouper to do all she did in so much pain. I'm so happy she is finally over it. (I assume she's over it) And bless Chandler for being there for her through the toughest times.
I was recently diagnosed with severe endometriosis when my gynecologist went in to take out a troublesome 10cm ovarian cyst. I've had pain and other symptoms (I don't know what's endo and what's IBD, etc), but thankfully not daily, all-consuming pain. Praise God for a diagnosis and medical help and compassionate people.
'Viruses and bacteria feed on sources that include foreign hormones from animal products and synthetic, manufactured sources to which we’re commonly exposed, often via our food, water, laundry and cleaning products, perfumes and colognes, air fresheners, scented candles, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, plastics, and more. The byproduct that these pathogens produce in and around the female reproductive system activates and prompts abnormal tissue growth in order to trap and encase this toxic byproduct so it doesn’t injure the uterus and other critical parts of the reproductive system. This tissue has the tendency to spread faster when on a high-fat/high-protein diet that includes foods such as eggs, milk, cheese, and butter because these are troublemaker foods that feed the pathogens, leading to increased production of viral and bacterial byproduct. Toxic heavy metal exposure can also exacerbate endometriosis.

Bindi could not have given a better speech. It was heartfelt, eloquent, honest and well written. I love this girl so much and am grateful that she has finally found the help she so desperately needed.
Make a correction on your endometriosis slide that you aren't the director of gynecologist surgeon at Magee Women's Hospital of UPMC as of January 2024.
Thanks for these brave and beautiful ladies for making endometriosis known I have endometriosis and the pain is extremely real. Everyone kept telling me I was overreacting and making excuses. No.... It's really real. I'm teary eyed watching Bindi. Thank you so much Bindi and all the brave and beautiful ladies paving the rode with hope for this debilitating disease🙏♥️😭
I am so grateful to see this. I have suffered with Endometriosis and finally when I ended up homeless from so much time off of work, the state stepped in and paid for a major surgery which changed my life although I still struggle with this disease, it makes me so happy to see awareness about it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Bindi I am so sorry you’ve had to go through this. I know you are a hugger by nature and to think that you were in so much pain while doing it breaks my heart.
Is no one gonna talk about why suddenly so many women have endo ? It definitely wasn’t around as much as this 30 years ago . I knew NOBODY experiencing these kind of symptoms. Now every second woman I know has these symptoms! I think it’s highly plausible that something new that was introduced for women could be the culprit … 💉
I wonder too. It isn't natural for females to be in debilitating pain which also effects fertility. Something in our modern diets or environment? Are you suggesting the warts virus vaccine? Who knows.
middle of summer hot water bottle on my back. dismissed by doctors etc. pain like hot pokers .etc. Unfortunately, I did not have a child because of this and an early change of life.
I was asymptomatic until I was 38 years old. I'm so grateful I found a doctor at the Cleveland Clinic that did excision for my stage 4 Endometriosis. I've been pain free for over 7 years now. My heart goes out to people that have had multiple surgeries, and had their fertility options taken away because of this terrible, often misunderstood disease.
