We at the Women’s Health Group Chicago understand that living with endometriosis can be uncomfortable and even painful. Pain management is a crucial part of our approach in treating this common gynecological condition. We work collaboratively with our patients, devising individualized pain management strategies to reduce discomfort and improve overall well-being. Through medications or non-pharmacologic treatments like physical therapy, we aim to help you regain control over your life.
Hormonal therapies are an effective method for managing endometriosis symptoms. Here at Women’s Health Group Chicago, we guide our North Center patients through a wide range of hormonal treatment options based on their unique needs. This could include procedures such as oral contraceptives, progestin therapy or gonadotropin-releasing hormone agents depending on factors including age, severity of symptoms and desire to conceive in future.
For instances where medication isn’t sufficient in managing endometriosis symptoms, minimally invasive surgery may be recommended by our skilled team. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, it is always our priority to ensure surgery remains a last resort option after exploring all other forms of treatment. Laparoscopic protocols allow us to perform less invasive techniques promising quicker recovery time while effectively addressing the root cause of pain.
