Philosophy: Endometriosis can likely be ascribed to embryologic origins as upheld by Redwine’s Mülleriosis theory, which suggests that the disease is created following abnormal differentiation of the Müllerian duct system during embryogenesis and later triggered by varied mechanisms.
Medication: When patient has chosen the option based on their specific circumstances and indications; LNR-IUS for adenomyosis, short-term ovulation suppression (3-6 immediately post-operatively) with either continuous low dose contraceptives or progestins such as norethindrone. Narcotics/pain medication as needed/appropriate.
Approach to Persistent Pain: Re-assessment of potential causes of pain. Pelvic floor PT where needed. Pain management where needed – trigger point injections, nerve blocks, medication. If need for narcotics, and have had appropriate referrals to other specialists where necessary, then we would consider another laparoscopy. Happens less than 10-15% of the time.
