Dr. Madhu Bagaria, a leading endometriosis specialist at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine in New York and New Jersey, was recently featured on the Fit as a Fiddle podcast to discuss endometriosis—a condition that affects millions of women and girls worldwide.
What is endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a chronic condition with a significant global impact, affecting approximately 10% of women and girls of reproductive age, according to the World Health Organization. Despite its prevalence, endometriosis often goes undiagnosed for years, leading to prolonged endometriosis pain and a reduced quality of life. On average, it can take more than five years for someone suffering from endometriosis to receive an accurate diagnosis. This delay can be attributed to a lack of awareness and understanding of what endometriosis is, how it can be identified, and the various ways its symptoms can be managed.
During her interview on Fit as a Fiddle, Dr. Bagaria shed light on the complexities of diagnosing endometriosis and emphasized the importance of education in preventing delayed diagnoses. “One of the most preventable factors is simply education around what the condition really is, how it can be identified, how it can be clinically diagnosed, and the many ways that its symptoms can be managed,” Dr. Bagaria noted.
Who is Dr. Madhu Bagaria?
Dr. Bagaria’s expertise in treating endometriosis is extensive. After completing two rigorous OBGYN residencies, she went on to pursue a prestigious two-year fellowship in minimally invasive gynecological surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. Here, she trained under world-renowned experts, including Drs. Louie, Yi, Wasson, Magtibay, and Butler. Today, she is one of the few specialists worldwide providing the latest endometriosis excision surgery, a sugercial process that involves excising endometriosis lesions in the body.
Throughout her career, Dr. Bagaria has developed a deep understanding of pelvic pain and living with endometriosis, conditions that significantly impact the quality of life of women. She is a strong advocate for patient education and empowerment, believing that women should play an active role in making decisions about their healthcare. “It’s not just about treatment,” she explained on the podcast, “It’s about understanding your condition and knowing your options.”
Dr. Bagaria’s diverse expertise—spanning minimally invasive gynecology, urogynecology, and gynecologic oncology—enables her to provide innovative and compassionate care tailored to each patient’s unique pelvic health needs. Before dedicating her practice to pelvic pain and endometriosis, she worked as a generalist at the Mayo Clinic Health System in Austin, MN, for six years. This experience gave her a comprehensive understanding of women’s health issues and the ability to provide care for a wide range of gynecological conditions.
At Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine, Dr. Bagaria continues to offer cutting-edge care and treatment for endometriosis and other pelvic health conditions in New York and New Jersey.
