Dr. Jaime Ocampo

Dr. Jaime Ocampo, M.D.

Jaime Ocampo – Endometriosis Specialist, Gynecologist, Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgeon

Summary: Dr Jaime Ocampo is a leading endometriosis specialist and minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon in Daly City, CA. With years of experience at Kaiser, Dr. Ocampo provides compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each patient’s unique condition and goals. Jaime Ocampo MD focuses on treating endometriosis through a combination of hormone therapy and surgical options, always considering fertility as part of the care plan.

Dr. Ocampo often recommends progesterone-based treatments like Aygestin or Dienogest for symptom management, and he performs precise excision surgery when necessary. He also addresses persistent pelvic pain with a comprehensive approach that includes pelvic floor care. Patients trust Jaime Ocampo for his clear communication, thoughtful treatment planning, and commitment to long-term wellness.

City: Daly City, CA, USA

Philosophy: The most accepted mechanism by which endometriosis occurs is retrograde bleeding. It is certainly possible that most endometriosis happens through this process but the coelomic mutation is also a possible mechanism. Surgical treatment is tailored to the patient’s need and whether they have deep infiltrating endometriosis, ovarian endometriosis, or adenomyosis. Also, fertility is an important factor when deciding on treatment.

Medication: I think the data is better on progesterone treatment. In the United States Aygestin is available but also I use Dienogest. I sometimes use depo lupron but less and less as the side effect profile o progesterone is better.

Approach to Persistent Pain After Surgery: I think persistent symptoms many times point to somatic pelvic floor pain which goes hand in hand with endometriosis. Of course, recurrences occur and I think hormonal treatment is important.
