Endometriosis is a hormonal condition and thus requires hormone-targeting treatment plans for maximum effectiveness. At the Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer various hormonal therapies designed to alleviate symptoms of endometriosis by suppressing estrogen production, which is known to exacerbate this condition.

The Women’s Health Group Chicago offers minimally invasive surgery options designed not only for symptomatic relief but also targeting at potential sources causing Endometriosis-related issues like pelvic cysts or adhesions. With advancements in surgical technology such as laparoscopy and robotic-assisted procedures, these surgeries involve smaller incisions leading reduced healing time compared traditional open surgery.
One area greatly impacted by endometriosis is fertility; our group recognizes how distressing this link can be for many women who dream of having their own family one day. That’s why another key service offered at our Lincolnwood clinic involves fertility preservation treatments suitable for individuals diagnosed with endometriosis aiming future pregnancies preserving quality of egg reserves in early stages of the disease where possible.

April Susmarski2024-08-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a new patient and the care I received there from all of the staff really impressed me. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Mike and I cannot recommend him enough! His review of my (and my family’s) medical history was so in depth that we actually covered more than I ever have with my regular doctor. He went above and beyond to say the least. His approach is preventative, instead of just waiting for an issue to arise. Needless to say, I know I’m in good hands there.
