Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen dependent condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus. While the exact cause is unknown, endometriosis can severely impact a woman’s quality of life, leading to chronic pain, emotional distress and fertility issues. And without proper management, it can cause long-term complications. Scripps takes a multidisciplinary approach to treating endometriosis, with comprehensive personalized plans that may include advanced therapies, like hormonal treatments, surgery and lifestyle modifications.
