Philosophy of Endometriosis Care: Sampson’s theory

What type of surgery do you perform for endometriosis: Excision

Medication: The pharmacological treatment for endometriosis that I usually use in the clinic is hormonal treatment. In our environment, there is difficulty in having GNRH agonists or antagonists or other medications to control symptoms. Another type of treatment that uses clinical practice is the use of antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E. Also, the use of probiotics given some of the theories of endometriosis’ gastrointestinal origin.

Approach to Persistent Pain After Surgery: Pain treatment in patients with endometriosis is often complex. Given the complexity of pain treatment, I always perform multidisciplinary management of my patients with services attached to gynecology. Services such as gastroenterology, physiotherapy to start treatment or pelvic floor therapy, pain clinic, psychology, psychiatry, nutrition, among others, are services that help me improve pain in these patients
