Endometriosis is a disease that occurs when uterine lining tissue grows outside the womb, where it cannot be shed.

It often adheres to the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other reproductive organs. The abnormal tissue growth can cause cysts, scar tissue, and tumors (usually benign). Endometriosis is often a painful condition, especially when the woman is menstruating. The disease can cause infertility.

We offer treatment options for women with endometriosis, beginning with laparoscopic diagnosis.

Hysterectomy is often the treatment method recommended for women who do not wish to have children, but there are more limited surgical techniques available that may help women hoping to become pregnant. We can remove the excess endometrial tissue and increase a woman's odds of becoming pregnant significantly - sometimes up to 40%.
