Philosophy of Endometriosis Care: The epigenetic theory

What type of surgery do you perform for endometriosis: Excision

Medication: Dienogest is used continuously in patients with superficial, ovarian, or deep endometriosis, with a reassessment of symptoms 12 weeks after starting treatment. Depending on the identification of other pain generators, additional medications may be incorporated, such as neuromodulators, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, and others.

Approach to Persistent Pain After Surgery: Given that patients with endometriosis experience multiple sources of pain, I conduct a thorough reassessment using a comprehensive, multi- and interdisciplinary approach. This approach addresses physical, nutritional, hormonal, and emotional aspects. Additionally, we evaluate pain centralization, assess potential recurrences, and review the recorded surgical footage to verify the complete excision of the affected tissue.
