What causes pain in endometriosis?

In this episode, we are joined by Lydia Coxon, Post-Doctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford's Pain in Women group, and PhD Candidate Natasha Orr, of the University of British Columbia and UBC Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Laboratory. In conversation, we learn more about what causes pain in endometriosis, how pain is studied, and some of the incredible work being done to the understand the highly stigmatised pains experienced by those with the condition. We are once again joined by Margarida Sardo, who shares with us her experience of living with endometriosis-associated pain, and gives invaluable insight into the variability and impact that this pain can have on the lives of people living with it.
