I found this book to be so informative. And that I am not alone with the symptoms I've had. Dr. Seckin actually did surgery on me. If it wasnt for him, I wouldn't have had children. I was trying for five years, artificial insemination, IVF, laser surgery and nothing helped. Dr's said it was unexplained infertility. I had surgery by him and got pregnant twice NATURALLY! I can not thank him enough. He is very knowledgeable about this disease. And I can not say enough how compassionate he is in actually understanding what a woman goes through with this disease. Thank you for changing my life. I hope more women who are suffering from endometriosis can have the opportunity to meet you. I hope this book can bring more understanding about endometriosis that people till this day have no idea about.
I was diagnosed with advanced endometriosis two weeks ago. My doctor thought I may have adenomyosis until he did surgery and found the endometriosis. I had frozen pelvis, cervical stenosis, and an ovarian endometrioma. I've felt bad for years and was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia, depression, and arthritis. Long story short - I only had gastro symptoms in my younger years and only started having cramps about 2 years ago (I'm 44). Never had problems with infertility. I had NO CLUE that I had this, nor did any doctor ever mention the word "endometriosis" to me. When I woke up from surgery and the doctor told me, I wasn't even sure what it was. That's when I found this book on . Definitely 5 stars. I want to give a copy to every woman I know and every gynecologist in existence! Can't believe the MDs don't even understand this disease. I felt better immediately after surgery. I was having trouble even walking before this. Thank God, I had been referred to a gynecological oncologist who is a superb surgeon and so he knew what he was doing. I didn't realize what a blessing it was to have him until I read in this book how most surgeons don't know how to properly deal with endometriosis, not even gynecologists! This book should be required reading for OB/GYN medical students. Have been blowing up Facebook with information about this ever since! Buy this book and give it to anyone who is having mysterious health problems that have to do with IBS/gastro problems, infertility, fibromyalgia, etc. I asked my doctor how long I've had this and he said probably years. And I had no clue!
Finally a compassionate and understanding doctor who truly understands the depth of endometriosis. My daughter and I purchased this book after reading about Dr. Seckin and the Endometriosis Foundation. I quite literally could not put the book down because I felt like I was reading about my daughter who has been suffering with endometriosis for 2 years and getting little guidance from her doctors. Every gynecologist should read this book to truly understand their patients. My daughter just had surgery with Dr. Seckin and is already seeing positive changes. Finally light at the end of a very long tunnel. His expertise in this area is second to none. If you have or suspect you have endometriosis, this book is a must read!
It's a great read for those just starting out their research regarding this God awful disease. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in January of 2014 and the author, Dr. Tamer Seckin, actually did my excision surgery a little over a year ago. I would recommend it for those just starting out on their endo journey, it helps to hear others experiences and to know you are not alone.
I have been to numerous physicians who misdiagnosed me, who did not know the best treatments, or who performed surgery on me that did use the gold standard techniques to remove the disease. Dr. Seckin openly shares there are not enough medical experts in the field, and not enough research. He helps guide you through questions you must ask during your appointments. The patient stories shared and the symptoms discussed will resonate with you. You will feel less alone. This book has the best diagrams and photos of endometriosis I have ever seen. Its great to help family and friends understand the disease. I hope this book helps other women get the right treatment from the onset.
Finally a well written informative book that explains what Endometriosis is, the best treatments, & very detailed candid patient accounts. I could not put this book down! It is very easy to read and understand and I love the way the book flowed seamlessly from chapter to chapter. I cried all the way through reading it in relief that there is a specialist out there that really knows what he is talking about when it comes down to Endometriosis. Dr. Sekin doesn’t just explain what Endometriosis is he takes you on a journey of his many patients and how they have lived with this debilitating disease. He gives very detailed and candid patient accounts of how he successfully treated them and candidly explained how a patient’s surgery took a turn for the worst but the end result was a very happy one. He reassures you of his knowledge and experience.This book is a must have for any woman suffering with Endo. Give it to family and friends to read to raise awareness and to help them understand what you are going through. Some people think you look ok but have no idea!! Read this and get comfort from it like I have - "It is NOT in your head!"
