Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the debilitating pain that affected females often experience with endometriosis. Our professional and experienced team provides advanced pain management methods to help alleviate this discomfort and improve patients’ overall quality of life. These treatments are tailored to each individual’s needs and circumstances, as we strive to reduce discomfort while increasing daily function.
Hormonal therapies play a key role in managing symptoms and progression of endometriosis. The skilled health professionals at Womens Health Group Chicago offer various hormonal treatment approaches aimed at lowering estrogen levels in the body, slowing endometrial tissue growth, and reducing overall associated inflammation. Options can include oral contraceptives, hormone therapy injections or implants, depending on your specific situation.
When other treatments aren’t effective or if severe complications arise from endometriosis such as infertility or extreme pain, minimally invasive surgery may be the best course of action. Performed by our top-rated OBGYN surgeons at Womens Health Group Chicago, these surgeries not only lower risks but also result in shorter recovery periods compared to traditional surgical procedures.
Enduring with endometriosis doesn’t mean you have to give up your dream of starting a family. At Womens Health Group Chicago, our fertility preservation techniques protect future reproductive potential while curtailing possible disease progression effects on fertility rates in women diagnosed with endometriosis. This combined effort paves the way towards empowering prospective parents dealing with this condition.
We believe therapeutic relief should span beyond medication here at Women’s Health Group Chicago. That’s why we provide specialized pelvic floor therapy designed to alleviate pain and symptoms associated with endometriosis. Our experienced physical therapists work closely with patients, employing specific exercises to relieve stress on the affected areas.
Cap off your treatment plan at Womens Health Group Chicago with our expert nutritional counseling. Many lifestyle choices, including diet, can have a significant impact on managing this condition effectively; hence our nutritionists recommend dietary practices that complement medical therapies. This holistic approach aligns perfectly with our motto of providing comprehensive care tailored uniquely for women dealing with endometriosis in Calumet City.
