Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs. This misplaced endometrial tissue responds to hormonal changes in the same way as the endometrium inside the uterus, causing inflammation, pain, and scarring.
Symptoms of endometriosis can include painful periods, pain during intercourse, chronic pelvic pain, painful bowel movements or urination during menstruation, and infertility. Some women with endometriosis may also experience fatigue, bloating, or diarrhea during their periods.
Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects approximately 10% of reproductive-age women. While the exact cause of endometriosis is unknown, there are a number of factors that may contribute to its development, including genetics, hormonal imbalances, and immune system dysfunction.
Treatment for endometriosis depends on the severity of the condition and the individual woman’s symptoms and desires. Some possible treatment options include:
Pain medication: Over-the-counter pain medication, such as ibuprofen, can be used to manage the pain associated with endometriosis.
Hormonal therapy: Hormonal therapy, such as birth control pills, can help regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce the growth of endometrial tissue.
Surgery: Laparoscopic surgery can be used to remove endometrial tissue and scar tissue, which can help reduce pain and improve fertility.
Assisted reproductive technologies: Women with endometriosis who have difficulty conceiving may benefit from assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
It is important for women with endometriosis to speak with their healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for their individual situation. While endometriosis can be a challenging condition to manage, there are a number of treatment options available to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Before your first appointment, one of our clinical care coordinators will call you to discuss your case and review what appointments to expect. The clinical care coordinator will make sure all appointments are arranged in a timely fashion. Each of our patients is unique and treated individually, and the schedule of doctors you see will be tailored specifically to your needs. The doctors will discuss your care options with you and answer any questions that you may have regarding your diagnosis and management.
We are dedicated to helping pregnant women and their families after a significant birth defect or genetic condition has been detected. Specialists from both obstetrics and pediatrics work together as a team to determine the best way to care for you and your unborn baby, both during and after your pregnancy.
Whenever possible, we create an integrated appointment plan, so that you can meet with the multiple subspecialists involved in your case. Some patients come here for a second opinion and go back to their obstetrician. Other patients transfer their care to Columbia as their delivery date approaches to make sure their baby immediately receives the necessary specialized pediatric care after birth.
