Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that Endometriosis can often cause severe pain, adversely affecting your quality of life. Our dedicated team takes pride in providing personalized pain management strategies to help you regain control over your body and enhance the overall quality of life in Chicago women battling Endometriosis. We use a comprehensive approach combining medication, physical therapy techniques and lifestyle modifications to reduce discomfort whilst minimizing side effects.
Endometriosis is driven by hormonal fluctuations within the female body; hence our experienced providers ride on the potential benefits of hormonal therapies for treatment solutions. By manipulating hormone levels through medication, birth control pills, patches or injections, we aim to slow down endometrial tissue growth and decrease inflammation leading to dramatic relief from symptoms for many patients in Chicago.
When conservative treatments prove insufficient or when fertility preservation is desired; the Womens Health Group tackles these complex cases with minimally invasive surgery options including laparoscopy or Laparoscopic Excision Surgery (LAPEX). Our highly skilled surgeons are committed to delivering outstanding outcomes for our Chicagoland’s population using state-of-the-art tools and technologies which allow quicker recovery period with less scarring.
We know how critical it is for many women experiencing endometriosis-related infertility as they yearningly aspire towards motherhood. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer advanced fertility preservation methods such as ovarian tissue freezing or egg retrieval coupled with Comprehensive Chromosome Screening (CCS) to improve clinical pregnancy rates. Regardless where you stand on your reproductive journey amidst this condition- we strive tirelessly so that every woman’s dream could become an achievable reality at any age.
To tackle not just only the surface implications of endometriosis, Womens Health Group Chicago also employs Pelvic Floor Therapy for customers battling this condition. This non-surgical approach involves exercises designed to relax and strengthen pelvic floor muscles which often become tense due to Endometriosis pain thus improving bladder, bowel and sexual functioning.
Realizing that the journey through Endometriosis includes more than just medical treatment; we take a stand on food-as-medicine ideology by incorporating nutritional counseling within our comprehensive program. Our nutrition experts provide personalized eating plans aimed at reducing endometrial inflammation thereby diminishing symptom severity- ensuring that you’re empowered with tools for healthier diet choices in tandem with clinical treatments offered at Womens Health Group Chicago.
