Just wait til you find out men can get it (extremely rare)

I don't think it's beneficial to just put both in the same pot. It's just a similar condition in similar tissue afaiu. Men don't have a uterus.

  Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial like tissue outside the uterus. Male cells retain the ability to transform into endometrial cells given the right stimulus. In rare pathological cases, this happens.

Is that with or without hormone treatment?

  There is a strong correlation with hormones. It’s in the post.

    Thanks I wanted to see the commenters perspective and if they have different information or opinions.

Seriously? It must be in combination with one or more of the intersex conditions, yes? I just wrote up thread about a recurring chat between my wife and I all about what if Men got this disease... the law would change quickly!

    I will! TY! (Not sure why I got zeroed above... was genuine curiosity, honest!)

  “endometriosis is also found in men with a total of 16 cases previously reported in the literature” I don’t think this is enough to affect funding.

  > what if Men got this disease... the law would change quickly! Honestly I've always thought this line of argumentation is dumb. Pregnancy is complicated, we don't understand it, and there are obvious ethical problems studying pregnant women. There are many syndromes that affect men and women we similarly know little about. The body is complicated. We shouldn't attribute to malice what is best explained by lack of knowledge

  I have no doubt women’s issues are often poorly diagnosed/treated —- men’s health is also treated poorly and we don’t even have a dedicated medical specialty. (I don’t consider low-T clinics as “healthcare”)
