Deena's Endometriosis Update: Navigating...

Audacy and Big Little Feelings
About this episode

Today’s episode is a bestie catchup where Deena gives us the latest updates on her endometriosis journey. Join us as we catch up on how she’s doing after her endometriosis surgery and how she’s coming to terms with her *other* diagnoses. Highlights include:

  • How her surgery failed from relieving her symptoms 
  • Dispatches from a less-than-positive post-op appointment
  • What exactly is adenomyosis—and why does it leave some women suffering all the way until menopause?
  • Will this *triple whammy* diagnosis affect her fertility?
  • The “bad” news that is actually bringing her a TON of hope
  • Will the thought of MORE painful periods be enough to make Deena move up her plans to get pregnant again?
  • The transcript of this episode can be found here!
