Pelvic Pain & Disorders

Identify and treat pelvic pain from endometriosis and fibroids

Pelvic pain can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with conditions like endometriosis and fibroids. However, our experienced physicians use advanced diagnostic techniques and treatment options to provide relief and restore your quality of life. Every woman’s body is different, which is why we offer personalized care plans tailored to your symptoms, health goals, and lifestyle.

Uterine fibroids: Understanding your condition

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that grow in or on the wall of the uterus. While some women have no symptoms, others experience:

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
• Pelvic pressure or cramping
• Frequent urination
• Lower abdominal discomfort

Fibroids are very vascular, meaning they rely on a strong blood supply to grow. Treatment varies based on their size, number and location, and we offer several proven approaches to help you feel your best.

Treatment options for uterine fibroids

• Monitoring: In cases where fibroids are small and symptom-free, routine pelvic exams and ultrasounds help track growth without immediate intervention.
• Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE): UAE is a minimally invasive procedure where a small catheter is inserted into an artery in the groin. Microscopic beads are injected to block blood flow to the fibroids, causing them to shrink and die while preserving normal uterine function.
• Myomectomy: A surgical procedure to remove fibroids while keeping the uterus intact. Depending on the size and location, your doctor may perform this procedure laparoscopically (minimally invasive) or through a traditional open surgery. Laparoscopic surgery results in less blood loss, reduced pain and a shorter recovery time, but the decision ultimately depends on what’s best for your health.

Not every woman with fibroids will need surgery, and our specialists work with you to determine the safest, most effective treatment plan.

Endometriosis: Understanding your condition

Endometriosis occurs when uterine lining tissue grows outside the uterus, affecting nearby organs and causing chronic pain and discomfort. Symptoms can include severe menstrual cramps and pelvic pain, painful intercourse, irregular bleeding and fertility challenges. Because endometriosis can be difficult to diagnose, our team uses advanced techniques to confirm the condition and provide targeted treatment options that improve your daily life.

Treatment options for endometriosis

• Monitoring: If symptoms are mild, regular exams every 6 to 12 months allow your doctor to track the condition and intervene if necessary.
• Medication: Hormonal treatments or pain management options can help reduce inflammation, regulate cycles and manage symptoms without surgery.
• Laparoscopic Surgery is a noninvasive procedure in which a surgeon uses a small camera (laparoscope) to confirm the diagnosis and remove visible endometriosis tissue using laser technology. This method helps reduce pain, improve fertility and prevent further complications.

We work closely with each patient to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to their health needs and lifestyle goals.
