City: Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico
Philosophy: None of the theories explains all the cases. I think all the theories (retrograde menstruation, coelomic metaplasia, embryonic remnants, and transformation/induction) interact as initiating factors with genetics, menstrual fluid obstruction, and propagating factors (oxidative stress, hormones, apoptosis suppression, and immune dysfunction) to explain the superficial and deep endometriosis. it’s our duty to know all the interactions to try the solve most of the cases and try to explain to the patient her condition and potential solutions.
What type of surgery do you perform for endometriosis?: Excision
Medication: Non-inflammatory steroid drug as the first line for dysmenorrhea without demonstrable endometriosis implant; hormonal contraceptive pill in the second line of dysmenorrhea with our demonstrable endometriosis progesterone treatment (intrauterine levonorgestrel device or dienogest) in cases of failure of the first and second medical treatment lines, in cases in which the patient’s condition or desire is not considered, or in patients with a high risk of postsurgical recurrence to try to avoid or reduce it.
Approach to Persistent Pain After Surgery: I submit the case to all my team for a second time, discussing the causes of the persistence of the symptoms, which include a physical therapist, psychologist, bowel surgeon, urologist, gynecological urologist, and pain expert, and later get opinions of other endometriosis colleagues around the world, mainly in Latin America. I am blessed to have a good relationship with experts in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and here in Mexico to discuss the cases. With these meetings, I reduce the rate of failure
