Endometriosis Treatment in Lake Orion

The condition of endometriosis occurs when the tissue lining of the uterus (endometrial cells) grows outside of the uterus and overtakes healthy tissue. A painful or dysfunctional pelvis can result from this condition. There is no cure for endometriosis, but there are several treatment options. 

To determine if you have endometriosis and to find out the best treatment plan for you, it is important to seek an endometriosis specialist’s help if you experience symptoms. Medications, surgeries, and lifestyle changes may all be options for treatment. Consult a physician from the Endometriosis Center of America to determine the best method. Women’s health is always our top priority.

We offer a comprehensive approach that is tailored to each individual patient based on our team’s extensive experience treating this condition.

Endometriosis Treatment We Offer

Usually, endometriosis symptoms disappear when a woman goes through menopause. However, waiting is not an option for many women based on how much pain they experience- and it shouldn’t be.  We want to offer interventions as well as medical education to our clients.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for each stage, since each woman will react differently to these options. We’ll stand by you until we find a solution that works for you. That’s why working with a compassionate doctor is important.

Common Symptoms of Endometriosis Pain

Despite some symptoms being shared by women with endometriosis, each person’s experience is unique. Some women may not experience any symptoms at all. Symptoms range from painful periods, pain in your reproductive organs or painful menstrual cycles as a whole. That said, some common symptoms of endometriosis include:

  • Pelvic Pain (can be severe pain)
    • Usually during or just before the menstrual periods
    • May worsen during periods and still be present between the menstrual cycle
    • May get worse over time
    • While urinating or bowel movements, especially during periods
    • During or after sex
  • Painful Menstrual Period
  • Ovarian Cysts or “Chocolate Cysts”
  • Along with Other Symptoms

Certain medications can be used to get your endometriosis treated, including pain medicine, hormonal therapy, and more. Some of these medications include:

  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain
  • Hormonal birth control pills
  • Aromatase inhibitors to lower estrogen levels
  • Muscle relaxers or anti-convulsants to suppress pelvic floor spasms
  • Certain antidepressants

Pain caused by endometriosis can be treated with the following interventional therapies:

  • Nerve blocks
  • Anesthetic muscle injections with or without corticosteroids to block trigger points
  • Physical therapy to help control and relax pelvic muscles
  • Behavioral therapy to help manage stress and pain
  • Botox® Injections to freeze pelvic floor muscle spasms

Endometriosis surgery is performed to diagnose and remove endometriosis. Surgical interventions are often used in diagnosing endometriosis. As a diagnostic tool, it’s often used before medications. If medications do not relieve pain, robotic excision of endometriosis is the most effective way to remove endometrial tissue and endometrial growths without causing increased risk factors towards infertility issues. We’re the experts in endometriosis excision here at ETCOA, and we’re here to help you find out if endometriosis surgery is right for you.

Why should I get checked for endometriosis?

A large amount of excess tissue may develop on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other organs in the pelvis. The excess tissue may even extend to the rest of the body in some cases. An estimated 1 in 10 women of reproductive age suffers from endometriosis. However, many women are not aware of their endometriosis despite its prevalence. If the endometriosis symptoms are mild or misconstrued as other illnesses, the condition can go undiagnosed for years.

Without proper treatment, endometriosis can lead to infertility, pain, and other problems. The good news is that there are effective treatments available for treating symptoms and increasing fertility. Speak with your doctor if you think you might have endometriosis.
