Dr. Tarek Toubia

Dr Tarek Toubia – Gynecology & Minimal Invasive Surgery, Endometriosis Specialist.

Summary: Located in Nashville, Tennessee, Dr Toubia is a compassionate gynecologist and minimally invasive surgeon specializing in endometriosis care. With a focus on the complex, multifactorial nature of endometriosis, Dr Tarek Toubia offers personalized, multidisciplinary treatment plans that address each patient’s unique needs.

Dr Toubia performs precise excision surgery to remove endometrial lesions and alleviate pain. For patients seeking non-surgical options or contraception, he provides hormonal suppression using combined contraceptives or progestational agents. Additionally, Dr Toubia utilizes GnRH antagonists for symptom relief when delaying surgery is preferred. When pain persists after surgery, he carefully reassesses for other causes and recommends postoperative hormonal treatments to reduce the risk of recurrence. Patients trust Dr Toubia for his thoughtful approach and dedication to long-term health and comfort.

City: Nashville, Tennessee

Philosophy: Multifactorial origin for a complex disease (with emphasis on genetic and embryonic theories), and thus the treatment approach needs to be personalized and multidisciplinary.

What type of surgery do you perform for endometriosis?: Excision

Medication: I use hormonal suppression with combined contraceptives or some progestational agents when someone does not want surgical treatment and desires contraception. I use GnRH antagonists for patients who are suffering from pain symptoms and desiring to delay surgical intervention and not attempting conception.

Approach to Persistent Pain After Surgery: Reassess and reevaluate for any concomitant pathology that could be contributing to pain. Also, postoperative hormonal suppression decreases the risk of recurrence
