Many women endure lengthy misdiagnoses before discovering they have endometriosis, a condition affecting 1 in 10 women worldwide. With over 15 years of experience and hundreds of successful diagnoses, Dr. Vivek Salunke specializes in providing clear, accurate second opinions when others have missed the mark.

Why Is Endometriosis Often Misdiagnosed?

Endometriosis symptoms mimic many other conditions, causing an average 6 to 7 year delay in diagnosis. Common misidentifications include:

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): When endometrial tissue affects the bowel, it triggers digestive symptoms similar to IBS.
• Ovarian cysts: Standard ultrasounds often miss the distinction between benign cysts and endometriosis-related cysts.
• Normalization of severe pain: Many women are told painful periods are “normal,” which delays proper evaluation.

If your symptoms persist despite treatment or your doctors have dismissed your pain, it’s time for an expert second opinion.

When You Need a Second Opinion Look out for warning signs such as:

• Severe, life-disrupting pain extending beyond typical periods.
• Pain during intercourse or bowel and bladder discomfort linked to your cycle.
• Failed treatments like multiple hormonal therapies that do not work.
• Difficulty conceiving after trying for a year or more.
