HOW WE HELP
Diagnose & Treat Endometriosis
We are a group of experienced surgeons devoted to medical best practices in endometriosis detection and surgery.
DO YOU HAVE
Endometriosis?
It is estimated that 1 in 10 women worldwide are affected
What is endometriosis?
It’s an often painful condition where tissue similar to the endometrium – which normally lines the uterus – grows outside of the uterus. Endometriosis lesions can develop on reproductive organs like the ovaries and fallopian tubes, other abdominal locations like the bladder or bowels, and even on or around the lungs.
There is no medical consensus as to how or why endometriosis occurs, and the diverse forms and locations that lesions grow in means that endometriosis symptoms vary widely from person to person.
Symptoms can include:
- You have painful periods
- You have unexplained pelvic and/or bladder pain
- Sexual intercourse is painful
- You had a negative MRI despite endometriosis symptoms
- You had negative ultrasound results
- You have Adenomyosis
- You have an ovarian Endometrioma
- You have pain despite a previous endometriosis surgery
- You were prescribed Lupron or Orilissa for your symptoms
- You have unexplained infertility
- You had miscarriages or biochemical pregnancies
- You want to freeze your eggs but have endometriosis
- You have experienced IVF failures
- Your PGS normal embryos failed to implant
- You were told IVF will bypass endometriosis (it may not)
- You were told “you may lose your ovary” during surgery
- A doctor told you that surgery is too risky
- You are not sure your doctor is an excision specialist
- You were told your symptoms are “all in your head”
- You are worried that endometriosis surgery will damage your fertility
HOW DO WE
Diagnose
Endometriosis
The doctors at ESSI are at the forefront of using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRIs) and Ultrasound to create precise maps of endometriosis tissue throughout the body.
Our experience working with diverse endometriosis cases that occur both within and outside of the reproductive tract guides our mapping process – helping us detect endometriosis when other doctors have found negative or inconclusive results.
Fast Track
Your surgery
It takes most patients an average of 5 to 6 years to receive an endometriosis diagnosis. ESSI offers a Fast Track program that allows you to progress within 3-6 weeks.
