This session will be an opportunity for people with endometriosis and/or pelvic pain, health care providers and scientific researchers to come together as a community. We will learn about reasons for various symptoms such as bladder, bowel and nerve issues, as well as all the factors that contribute to pelvic pain. There will be expert speakers from various medical specialties, as well as people with endometriosis sharing their individual journeys and perspectives. This will be followed by an interactive Q&A session between the audience and the speaker panel.
