Endometriosis Treatment Options and Treatment Team

There's no cure for endometriosis, but there is hope. The first step toward diagnosis and treatment is to share your symptoms with your doctor.

Any number of treatment options may help improve your quality of life.

At the UPMC Magee-Womens Endometriosis Center in central Pa., we'll work together to create a treatment plan designed for you.

These may include one or more of the following:

• Surgery: from diagnosis to complete excisional surgery. This option depends on your symptoms and reproductive goals.
• Medicine: hormonal suppression, anti-inflammatories, supplements, and other alternative treatments.
• Chronic conditions management: illnesses linked to endometriosis such as pelvic floor dysfunction, IBS, and other chronic diseases.
• Pain management: non-opioid-containing medicine and alternative methods to help ease pelvic pain.

Many women with endometriosis suffer symptoms up to — and sometimes beyond — menopause.

Our doctors know how this disease impacts your life and are here to help.
