1 in 10 women have Endometriosis
Endometriosis, affects approximately 10% of women, manifesting through painful menstrual cycles, pelvic discomfort between periods, dyspareunia, and irregular uterine bleeding. A strong association with infertility has been identified with around 40% of infertile women diagnosed with this condition. The inflammatory environment caused by endometriosis can impair sperm and egg viability, as well as impede their transit through the reproductive tract.
At USF Health, our experts are adept at diagnosing and managing this complex disorder characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus. We recognize the varied presentations of endometriosis, encompassing superficial, deep, endometrioma, and extra-pelvic forms, delineating tailored interventions. Our multidisciplinary approach offers innovative expertise in imaging as well as advanced surgical techniques to provide comprehensive care.
Distinguished as the sole Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology accredited by the SRC in our region, our MIGS division upholds the highest standards of patient care. Beyond surgical intervention, our comprehensive treatment approach embraces medical therapies and adjunctive measures including pelvic floor physical therapy, underscoring our commitment to optimizing outcomes and enhancing patient well-being.
