Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand the debilitating pain that can accompany endometriosis. Our expert medical team is dedicated to formulating effective pain management strategies that are tailored specifically to you and your symptoms. We believe in a holistic approach and employ various techniques such as nerve blocks, physical therapy and medication adjustments to make daily life manageable for our patients. Our goal is not simply to mask the pain but rather alleviate it – focusing on restoring function so you can participate fully in all areas of your life.
Endometriosis often has roots in hormonal imbalances; hence, our committed experts at Womens Health Group Chicago use advanced hormone therapies uniquely catered to each patient’s needs. We take into consideration every facet of your health history before recommending treatments like oral contraceptives, progestin therapy or gonadotropin-releasing hormone medications. All with the aim of mitigating endometriosis symptoms while bolstering overall health.
When conservative treatments aren’t enough, surgery may become necessary for managing endometriosis effectively. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer state-of-the-art minimally invasive surgeries such as laparoscopy and robotic-assisted procedures designed specifically for fibroid identification and removal without causing undue stress on the body. Not only do these techniques aid faster recovery times but they also leave minimal scarring compared to traditional surgical methods.
Being diagnosed with Endometriosis doesn’t mean putting off dreams of starting a family due to fertility issues associated with this condition. The specialists at Womens Health Group Chicago provide cutting-edge fertility preservation services along with treatment options including IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) when required, maximizing chances of conception even amid persistent concerns about fertility.
The strain that endometriosis places on your pelvic floor muscles can lead to chronic discomfort or pain. The Womens Health Group Chicago offers tailored Pelvic Floor therapies, where a specialized physical therapist works with you to alleviate muscle tension and build strength over time. Our individualized approach coupled with the latest training techniques ensures most beneficial outcomes depending on the advancement and impact of your condition.
At Womens Health Group Chicago, we believe in complete wellness which includes what you eat. That’s why nutritional counselling is a key part of our endometriosis management strategies. By providing well-balanced dietary advice along with specific suggestions geared towards managing inflammation and hormone levels, we aim to support health from inside out. We understand each patient’s needs are unique so every consultation aims at creating an intimate understanding between food intake and symptoms; guiding patients through their nutritional journey against Endometriosis.
