Endometriosis in Millcreek, UT

You may have unbearable and inexplicable pain surrounding your menstrual cycle. If this has been ongoing and unnoticed, it is possible you may suffer from endometriosis. Many women have this painful disorder that is due to the endometrium (the womb's inner lining) begins growing outside of the uterine cavity. When you are menstruating, this tissue becomes trapped inside your body rather than being released with your cycle. Severe pelvic pain is the leading symptom of endometriosis, but you may also experience excessive bleeding (during and outside of your period), discomfort during sex, infertility, and painful bowel movements and urination. At Phase II Center for Women's Health, our team can help diagnose and provide care to improve your life. Contact our Millcreek, UT office to learn more about your options.

You may have endometriosis as a result of genetic factors, high estrogen levels, or traumatic events to the uterus like complications during birth or C-sections. At Phase II Center for Women's Health, we can help diagnose you via a pelvic exam and some diagnostic testing that could include an MRI, ultrasound, or pelvic laparoscopy. Unfortunately, there is no cure for endometriosis, however, we can certainly discuss many options for managing the condition and relieving some of the pain. The treatment plan we decide on will vary depending on the severity of your condition. Nonsurgical treatment plans include hormone regulation and laser ablation to massage excess tissue, while surgical intervention can include hysterectomy and laparoscopy in severe cases.
