84. Dr. Mathew Leonardi Endometriosis Expert Advanced Gynecological Surgeon & Ultrasound Specialist "Ignored Because It Is Benign – It Is Time to Treat Endometriosis as if It Were Cancer"

Dr Mathew Leonardi is an advanced gynecological surgeon and sonologist (ultrasound specialist) at McMaster University Medical Centre in Hamilton, Canada. He has been awarded his Ph.D. from the University of Sydney, which focused on the utility of ultrasound in diagnosing and managing endometriosis. We talk about non-invasive ways to diagnose endo, the challenges doctors and patients face in Canada, and much more. This podcast has inspired me to have more ways to diagnose endo sooner and without surgery.
