Ep. 53: Is the Receptiva test best for Endometriosis diagnosis?, with Dr. Nicholas Kongoasa

If you have painful periods or infertility, it's likely that you've wondered about endometriosis. A few years ago, it was announced that a test was now on the market that could tell you, through an endometrial biopsy, if endometriosis was your issue. Today's episode looks at the Receptiva test and how it may or may not help you get to the root cause of your health & fertility concerns with the guidance of Dr. Nicholas Kongoasa, Chief Surgeon at The Center for Restorative Reproductive Surgery and Chief Medical Officer of Reproductive Health Medicine & Gynecology, both based in Atlanta, GA. NOTE: This episode does include anatomical terms like cervix, uterus, and vagina.
