Fact or Myth? People with endo get accused of having a STD
Posted by

Fact or Myth?
People suffering from Endometriosis often get accused and/or shamed by doctors of being sexually promiscuous or having sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) instead of referring the person to an endo specialist.
FACT! 🙁
People are so often accused of having STDs or of being sexually promiscuous that endometriosis.org has a FAQ about it:
“Is endometriosis a sexually transmitted disease or infectious?
No. Endometriosis cannot be transferred from one human being to another. The cause of endometriosis is not yet known, but it is not an infectious disease.”
