Treatment for Endometriosis Boca Raton & Aventura

From Diagnosis Through Treatment, We Are Here for You

At Palm Beach Fertility Center, our passion is to help couples struggling with infertility to achieve their dreams of becoming parents. Women with endometriosis, a condition that affects the female reproductive organs, makes it difficult to get pregnant. However, our center offers treatment options to overcome the challenges this condition presents.

The exact cause of endometriosis is not clear, but it's hallmark symptom is endometrial (uterine) tissue growing outside of the uterus. The endometrium spreads to the surfaces of nearby internal organs, including the ovaries and the base of the uterus. Every month during menstruation, the tissue grows and bleeds, resulting in inflammation, scarring, and pain.

Risk factors for endometriosis include:

• History of pelvic pain
• Pain with intercourse
• Premenstrual spotting
• Family history of endometriosis
• Infertility

Treating Endometriosis

At Palm Beach Fertility Center, we have 25+ years of experience in treating endometriosis. We are committed to providing you with effective, caring treatment. Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical techniques and CO2 laser can treat endometriosis associated with pelvic pain. Our fertility specialist, Dr. Mark Denker, is a highly trained reproductive fertility surgeon who is skilled in these procedures. New techniques, including robotic surgery, allow better visualization of endometriosis and increased ability to excise deeply embedded disease.

Endometriosis can affect women at different levels of severity and symptoms. We understand that this condition is distinct in each woman who has it, and we will determine the best treatment procedures for you.

Mild or Severe Endometriosis

There is some disagreement among medical professionals about the role of minimal and mild endometriosis and how it potentially affects infertility. However, most experts agree that moderate and severe endometriosis, especially in the presence of an endometrioma, impacts pregnancy rates significantly and that the endometriosis should be surgically treated before initiating fertility treatment.

Once endometriosis has been treated, it is essential to quickly initiate therapy for the treatment of infertility and/or suppressive therapy for the treatment of pain. Endometriosis is a recurrent disease, and there is a six-month to one-year window where the condition will be in remission after surgical treatment providing
