Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that endometriosis can cause intense pelvic pain and tapping into effective relief measures is crucial for a patient’s quality of life. This is why we prioritize personalized pain management strategies in our comprehensive endometriosis care package. Our seasoned team leverages the latest treatment modalities to reduce inflammation, block nerve impulses and generally minimize pain associated with endometrial tissue growth outside the uterus. From physical therapy to NSAIDs prescription or even complementary therapies such as acupuncture, we tailor each plan to suit an individual woman’s symptoms and overall health condition.
Within the realm of endometriosis management, hormonal therapies have been instrumental due to their efficacy in regulating menstrual cycles and reducing possible complications such as cyst formation. At Womens Health Group Chicago, hormone therapy is one of our core approaches towards managing this potentially debilitating health issue. Whether it be through progestin therapy or gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH) agonists and antagonists; hormonal IUDs or even estrogen-progestin oral contraceptives, we guide you on appropriate choices based on your unique case history.
When surgical intervention becomes necessary for managing endometriosis-related fertility issues or chronic discomfort, rest assured that Womens Health Group Chicago offers advanced minimally invasive surgery options that ensure quick recovery time yet highly effective outcomes compared traditional open surgery methods.. Laparoscopy or robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedures enable us to meticulously remove problematic areas with precise control while minimizing any potential risk factors.
Womens Health Group Chicago recognizes that one major concern about battling this underlying gynecological disorder may lie within fears around preserving fertility. Offering cutting-edge assisted reproductive technology alongside scientifically-backed treatments, our team offers hope to women struggling with endometriosis-related infertility issues. We devise thorough fertility preservation and treatment programs that aim to help you not just conceive despite your condition, but also maintain a healthy pregnancy thereafter.
A core part of our comprehensive approach towards managing endometriosis lies in the special attention we pay to pelvic floor therapy. Pelvic pain directly linked with this disorder often stems from increased muscular tension within the pelvic region; through physical therapy methods that target this area specifically we can provide tangible relief for many patients at Womens Health Group Chicago. Through patient education, biofeedback sessions and targeted exercises among others, find effective strategies towards gaining much-needed muscle relaxation for better symptom control.
Lastly, no conversation about controlling endometrial complications is complete without addressing diet’s vital role in either exacerbating or hindering progress against this health challenge. At Womens Health Group Chicago we value nutritional counseling as an important component in managing endometriosis by decreasing inflammation and ultimately improving overall wellbeing of our patients throughout South Lawndale.
With expert nutritionists on board who understand how strategic meal planning can affect hormone balance significantly or even reduce discomfort during menstrual cycles- transform how you fight back against endometriosis one informed food choice at a time.
