Ep 03: Bridging the Gap: Why Endo Conversations Go Off Track – and How to Get Them Back, with Gynaecologist and Pain Physician A/Professor Susan Evans and Women's Health GP Dr Carmel Reynolds.

Why does endo care feel like a tug-of-war?

Pill pushback • stabbing pains • surgery debates.

Why do so many endo appointments leave patients feeling unheard and doctors feeling stuck? In this episode, GP Dr Alecia Macrow and EP Cherie Noble sit down with Prof Susan Evans and Dr Carmel Reynolds to unpack why care can feel like control, why “they just want to put me on the pill” is such a common refrain in forums, and how sharp “ovary pains” aren’t always what they seem.

We talk about:

The disconnect across the desk and how to rebuild partnership
Why hormonal treatments are offered so often (and how to talk about them without shutting down choice)
Stabbing pains, ovary myths, and what’s really going on
Surgery: when it helps, when it doesn’t, and why it’s not the whole story

This is a constructive, honest conversation for patients, clinicians, and anyone wanting to better navigate endo care.
