Endometriosis & the Perimenopause, with Professor Janice Rymer & Claudia Tye, Endometriosis Nurse Specialist. S7. Ep 10.

Severe period pain? Vomiting? Fainting? It’s not just “one of those things.” These can be symptoms of endometriosis - a condition far more complex than many realise, and which often goes undiagnosed and unsupported, affecting 1 in 10 women. 

In this episode, I’m joined by Professor Janice Rymer, consultant gynaecologist, and endometriosis nurse specialist Claudia Tye from Guy’s Hospital, London. Between them, they bring years of clinical experience and research, helping women navigate the many challenges of endometriosis.

We discuss what endometriosis is, why it happens, how it’s diagnosed, treatment options, and how it can change during perimenopause and menopause. We also share self-help strategies and advice on getting the right support. If you’ve ever struggled to understand what your body is telling you - or want to support a loved one with endometriosis - this episode is packed with insight, guidance, and reassurance.
