Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we understand that living with endometriosis can be challenging due to the chronic pain associated with this condition. Our team specializes in effective pain management strategies tailored specifically for women suffering from endometriosis. Through the collaborative efforts of our skilled health professionals, we create personalized treatment plans that focus on alleviating discomfort and enhancing overall quality of life.
Our clinic employs various hormonal therapy options to help manage symptoms of endometriosis effectively. These include contraceptive pills, progesterone therapy and GnRH agonists among others. The goal is to reduce estrogen production or block its action thus inhibiting growth of endometrial tissue. We carefully monitor your response to these hormonal treatments ensuring optimal results while mitigating possible side effects.
Sometimes conservative therapies are not sufficient in alleviating severe symptoms of endometriosis or when fertility preservation is a concern. At such times minimally invasive surgery may be recommended by our proficient OBGYNs at Womens Health Group Chicago in Villa Park. Using state-of-the-art laparoscopic techniques, they aim towards removing abnormal tissue whilst preserving your reproductive organs so you’ll still have possibility to conceive in future if desired.

Here at Women’s Health Group Chicago, we offer comprehensive fertility preservation methods and treatment regimens aimed at optimizing chances of conception through individualized care plans even regardless of your severe stage endometroisis diagnosis.

Lastly but importantly, we pride in offering nutritional counseling services as integral part of comprehensive management approaches against battling endometriosis’ symptoms and fostering improved lifestyle.
