Endometriosis: Everything You Need to Know
Endometriosis is a common condition with plenty of misconceptions. The disease occurs when tissue called endometrium, similar to the tissue that normally lines the uterus, grows in other parts of the body. Endometriosis affects as many as one in 10 American women. It can cause pain, scarring, and even infertility.
Patient Education
It’s an exciting time to be a woman. But it can also be a confusing one. The web offers plenty of information, but it isn’t always accurate or trustworthy. Get the right information you need from a team of experienced and highly-trained physicians and certified nurse-midwives.
For answers to many of the questions our patients ask our doctors and nurses, visit the Frequently Asked Questions page. You can also learn more about the innovative da vinci surgical system and how it dramatically reduces recovery time and reduces the chance of scaring.
