Philosophy:
Medication: Hormonal medications can be helpful for patients in controlling symptoms, preparing for fertility treatment, and anticipating surgery. Patients seek me out for surgical management when medicine fails. I often have patients try high-dose progesterone (norethindrone at 2.5 mg) if they have not before. I occasionally treat with GnRH antagonists in cases of nerve involvement, desire to shrink the disease before operating to reduce the risk of oophorectomy, and prolonged waiting for surgery.
I always continue to take care of my patients after surgery. There can be more than one pain generator coexisting with endometriosis. If pain persists post-operatively, I re-evaluate the patient for other sources of pain, if not already recognized pre-operatively, such as myofascial pain, neuropathic pain, primary uterine pain, or bowel and bladder-related pain.
