113: Endometriosis and Hormone Receptors with Dr. Dulemba
We interview Dr Dulemba, an excision surgeon who has been in private practice in Denton, Texas, since 1986. For the past 20 years, he’s been testing the hormone receptors of endometriosis lesions. Today we discuss his findings and thoughts on endometriosis and hormones. Dr. Dulemba also joined us in episode 106 on robotic excision surgery and 109 on adhesions, so if you missed those, please check them out! Also I’d like to thank Kate from EndoGirlsBlog for brainstorming these questions with me! —CONNECT WITH DR.
