Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that living with endometriosis can mean dealing with persistent pain that affects our patients’ quality of life. Therefore, a key aspect of our care involves effective and compassionate pain management. Our team employs advanced medical treatments and holistic approaches designed to alleviate the symptoms associated with endometriosis. Constant collaboration among our professional staff guarantees personalized strategies for managing pain tailored specifically towards each woman’s unique circumstances in North Riverside.
Our group utilizes hormonal therapies to manage endometriosis effectively by reducing estrogen levels which in turn thwarts the progression of the disease. These state-of-the-art treatments offer an alternative route, aiming to regulate hormone production organically, thereby diminishing problematic symptoms like abnormal menstruation and pelvic discomfort common with the condition. At Women’s Health Group Chicago, your health transformation is facilitated by qualified gynecologists who orchestrate tailor-made treatment plans structured around individual needs.
When medication or hormonal therapy doesn’t suffice, minimally invasive surgery may be justifiable to relieve persisting severe pain or fertility issues stemming from endometriosis. Patient comfort is paramount at Womens Health Group Chicago; therefore, we pride ourselves on offering minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures aiding faster recovery times while ensuring maximum efficiency and negligible downtime compared to traditional open surgeries.
Endometriosis can compromise female fertility; however, this challenge is met confidently head-on at Women’s Health Group Chicago through innovative fertility preservation methods and breakthrough treatments targeting reproductive restoration. Fertility intervention outcomes involve improved chances of natural conception or preparing women fittingly for assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF if desired.
Pelvic floor dysfunction often accompanies endometriosis condition leading to distressing symptoms such as pelvic pain, bowel discomfort and urinary issues. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we incorporate pelvic floor therapy into patients’ holistic treatment plans which involves a series of exercises that help tone the muscles in the lower abdomen area significantly reducing said problems.
The role nutrition can play in managing women’s health conditions like endometriosis cannot be understated. With this understanding, Women’s Health Group Chicago offers comprehensive nutritional counseling, aimed at helping our North Riverside patients manage weight effectively, reduce inflammation and promote general well-being through tailored diet plans suitable for living with endometriosis. Our dedicated dietitians guide you on dietary changes and lifestyle adaptations to ensure an overall improvement.
