- Hey everyone! I hope you’re doing well and are having a flare-free day!
Today’s video is an important one for my channel. I always talk about endometriosis and motherhood, but there are other chronic conditions that are similar to endometriosis that should be given light. In discussions around endometriosis, we often hear about PCOS - how it relates to endometriosis, how it causes similar pains and discomfort, and how it can impact reproductive organs in a similar way to endometriosis. But what exactly is PCOS? How is it similar to, or different from, endometriosis? How is PCOS diagnosed? How is PCOS treated? All of these are important questions - and all of these are discussed in today’s video!
Do you suffer with PCOS and/or Endometriosis? How did you find out you had it and what were some of your symptoms? Feel free to comment down below in the comments as I’m sure it will help somebody in their journey for answers.
Shoutout to UA-cam creator Mama Doctor Jones for her awesome description of PCOS.

I tell my husband it feels as if I’ve done an intense workout without working out. I wake crying. I hope I find out what’s going on very soon…
Thank you. I’m happy I found your channel. ✌🏼
I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for your enlightening discussion on endometriosis, particularly your mention of its tendency to conceal itself. Your insights resonated deeply with me, and I felt compelled to share a bit about my own experience.
In 2023, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, also discovered that I had a clogged tube, adding another layer of complexity to the situation., and it was only after a laparoscopic procedure on November 17, 2023, that I became aware of my condition. Surprisingly, I had never experienced noticeable pain associated with endometriosis.
Your videos are helping my journey. Having researched extensively due to difficulties conceiving, I encountered many resources that often conflated PCOS and endometriosis. Your clarity and distinction between the two conditions allowed me to recognize the unique symptoms of endometriosis that I had been experiencing.
I had always dismissed leg pain, shoulder discomfort, and occasional breathing issues, assuming they were unrelated. However, your video prompted a realization that these were indeed connected to my endometriosis.
My husband and I are navigating the path of conception, and your video has been a guiding light in this process. Your expertise has not only educated me but also given me the strength to face the challenges associated with endometriosis.
I want to thank you for being a source of knowledge, support, and inspiration. Your contribution has made a significant difference in my life, and I am optimistic that, with time, my family will experience the joy of a new addition.
Once again, thank you for sharing your wisdom, and I look forward to any future insights you may provide.
Agreed- her channel is top notch!
Thank you for speaking on these topics! I have both PCOS and Endo. I was diagnosed with PCOS first as the doctors found cysts on my ovaries. During the surgery to remove these painful cysts, my doctor found Endo. It's been a long journey that I still navigate daily. My husband and I tried for multiple years to start a family and the doctors were unable to help after lots of tests. I had multiple early pregnancy losses. We didn't want to do IUI or IVF. I was able to get pregnant naturally by the grace and help from the Lord! Praise God! I am 33 weeks! Doing my own research and balanced some of my hormones with supplements has helped. Best wishes and prayers to you all!
Can you say something more about supplements which are helpful for you? I have exactly same issues with pcos, but also adenomyosis 😢
Your comment gives me hope, good luck with your pregnancy🍀❤️🍼
Praise God for your testimony!!!! I'm about to start documenting my endo journey on my channel. Hearing your fertility testimony gives me hope. Hope you've had a safe delivery xxx
Brilliant diagram and explanation, Em. Thank you!
As someone with pcos and possibly endo, i just want to clarify that while pcos is focused on the ovaries, i would say it can also be a full body disease depending on how you define it. Your endocrine system malfunctioning affects your entire body, with fatigue, brain fog, and emotional disruption, as well as the physical symptoms of excess testosterone. ❤
A big thank you for making this video 🙏🏽.
Hi beautiful thank you for your hard work, after long time fighting with my dr asking them I need a specialist finally, I got diagnosed with Endo, they give me pills 💊 with out telling me how severe is my endo even though with ultrasound scan internally, Many of the symptoms that you mention here leh pain pain after my period shoulder pain , back pain breast tenderness brain fog , tiredness but it seems dr don’t even know all this stuff I’m so angry 😡
