Endometriosis Long Term Care Provider
Summary: Magen Price, is a Family Nurse Practitioner and skilled Long-Term Endometriosis Care Provider at Mystic Valley Sexual Wellness in Melrose, Massachusetts. She specializes in individualized, comprehensive care for endometriosis, with particular expertise in hormonal health, menopause, and sexual health. Her approach is evidence-informed and patient-centered, incorporating progestogens and oral contraceptives for endometriosis, as well as individualized hormonal therapy during the menopause transition, including oral micronized progesterone, estradiol, and, when appropriate, testosterone guided by ISSWSH recommendations. Pain management may also include analgesics, vaginal suppositories, and non-pharmacologic modalities.
Magen emphasizes comprehensive support throughout the surgical journey. Before surgery, she focuses on patient education, anticipatory guidance, and ensuring that patients have the appropriate emotional and practical supports in place. When possible, she collaborates closely with surgeons and values established relationships with excision specialists. Following surgery, she takes a hands-on approach to recovery, with particular attention to pain management during the first six months, monitoring for postoperative complications, and supporting patients as they begin pelvic floor physical therapy when appropriate. She also helps manage coexisting conditions, including mast cell activation syndrome and autoimmune disease, which may flare during the postoperative period.

Philosophy of Endometriosis Care: While we aren’t married to any one theory, the polypotential germ-cell is probably at the forefront of our mind and dictates much of how we approach our patients.
Medication: Our practice is most focused on midlife care (though we have plenty of younger patients as well), so our expertise is really in hormonal treatments. For endometriosis we use progestogens and oral contraceptives, we use oral micronized progesterone, estradiol, and testosterone in the menopause transition (thoughtfully, per ISSWSH guidelines, and depending on the case). We have never needed to prescribe GnRH analogues in our practice. Pain management includes analgesics and vaginal suppositories, as well on non-pharmacologic modalities.
Pre-surgical care plan: Pre-surgery much of our focus is on patient support and anticipatory guidance. We work closely with surgeons (if possible). It is much easier when we have a relationship with their excision specialist. We help ensure supports are in place and all questions are answered.
Post-surgical care plan: Post-surgery we are much more hands-on. We focus on pain management for the first 6 months post-op, help with PFPT support when ready, and monitor for any post-surgical complications. We manage coexisting conditions such as MCAS or autoimmune disease which can flare post-surgery.
