Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that managing the pain associated with endometriosis can greatly improve quality of life. Pain management takes into account more than just physical discomfort–it also focuses on reducing emotional suffering and enhancing overall well-being. Our experienced medical practitioners provide tailored treatment strategies designed to combat pelvic pain, reduce inflammation and manage chronic discomfort associated with this condition.
Endometriosis is often linked with hormonal imbalances; hence our approach includes effective hormonal therapies. We use FDA-approved medications that work by altering hormone levels, which can slow endometrial tissue growth and prevent new adhesions from forming. Our team of healthcare professionals collaborate closely to formulate a plan specifically geared towards each patient’s unique hormonal makeup and symptomology.
We recognize the need for minimally invasive surgical options when dealing with endometriosis. Offering procedures such as laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, which enable direct visual examination of tissues, our surgeons minimize incision size while aiming at complete removal of lesions whenever possible. This approach reduces recovery times, scars and risk of complications regularly connected with traditional open surgeries.
Endometriosis shouldn’t mean forfeiting your dreams to become a mother. At Womens Health Group Chicago in Glenwood, we specialize in fertility preservation techniques that enhance reproductive health among women diagnosed with this condition. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART), like IVF may be recommended alongside medicinal treatments or surgical interventions if infertility complicates treatment processes.
Understanding the effects The complexity of endemetrosis demands multi-faceted therapeutic solutions, one of which is pelvic floor therapy. Our experienced pelvic therapists provide tailored physical exercises and massages designed to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), and the general discomfort often associated with endometriosis by directly addressing tension in the pelvic floor muscles.
The Womens Health Group Chicago is committed to providing comprehensive nutritional counseling as part of a holistic approach towards managing endometriosis. Our registered dieticians work closely with patients to develop personalized dietary plans aimed at reducing inflammation and promoting overall wellness. We understand that a well-nourished body can better respond to treatment modalities targeted against this condition.
