Endometriosis is a painful and often misunderstood condition that affects millions of women worldwide. The pain associated with endometriosis can be debilitating, impacting daily life and emotional well-being. At Patients Medical in New York City, we recognize that managing endometriosis requires a holistic approach. We go beyond just managing the pain; we focus on uncovering the root causes of your symptoms and providing integrative, natural treatments to help you find relief and healing.
Endometriosis pain is complex and can vary greatly between individuals. By understanding what this pain feels like and how it manifests, you can better address it with the appropriate care and treatment.
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) grows outside the uterus, often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other pelvic organs. This abnormal tissue growth can cause inflammation, pain, and the formation of scar tissue.
There are several stages of endometriosis, ranging from mild to severe, and the severity of pain does not always correlate with the extent of the disease. Women with severe endometriosis can experience excruciating pain, while others with less visible tissue growth may have only mild discomfort.
Endometriosis pain is often described as chronic, debilitating, and sharp. The intensity and type of pain vary from person to person but commonly include:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Functional medicine aims to identify the underlying causes of chronic conditions, such as endometriosis. While the exact cause of endometriosis remains unknown, several factors may contribute to the development of the condition:
At Patients Medical, we take a holistic approach to uncover and treat these root causes using functional medicine techniques.
To accurately diagnose and understand the factors contributing to endometriosis, we use advanced diagnostic tools:
At Patients Medical, we offer integrative treatments for endometriosis that focus on addressing both the symptoms and the underlying causes of the disease. Our approach combines conventional medicine with natural therapies for long-term relief.
We provide personalized nutrition plans that focus on reducing inflammation and supporting hormone balance. These plans may include:
We recommend evidence-based supplements and herbs that have been shown to support hormonal balance and reduce inflammation, including:
Chronic stress can exacerbate endometriosis pain. We offer stress management therapies that help balance cortisol levels and support overall well-being, including:
Using bioidentical hormones and other natural therapies, we help balance estrogen and progesterone levels to prevent the growth of endometrial-like tissue and reduce pain.
Sarah, age 35, had been living with severe pelvic pain for years. Despite traditional treatments, her symptoms persisted, and her quality of life had significantly declined. After comprehensive testing, we discovered that Sarah had hormonal imbalances and significant pelvic inflammation.
We created an integrative treatment plan for Sarah, which included:
Three months later, Sarah reported a significant reduction in pain, improved energy levels, and a much better quality of life.
Endometriosis pain is caused by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, which responds to hormonal fluctuations. This can lead to inflammation, scarring, and pain during menstruation or intercourse.
The severity of endometriosis pain varies. Some women experience mild discomfort, while others suffer from debilitating, chronic pain that interferes with daily activities.

Endometriosis is typically diagnosed through laparoscopy, but other methods like pelvic ultrasound and hormone testing can also provide useful information.
In addition to pain, women with endometriosis may experience fatigue, gastrointestinal issues, heavy periods, and infertility.
Yes, stress can exacerbate endometriosis pain by increasing inflammation and disrupting hormonal balance.
