Dr. Jeff Arrington joins us to discuss accessible endometriosis management options and surgical considerations for patients at different stages of their journey. We explore alternatives to excision surgery, the relationship between round ligament pain and endometriosis, and the real risks of deep excision procedures compared to standard gynecological surgeries.
• Various hormonal options including birth controls, progesterone-only medicines, and IUDs
• Low-risk alternatives like magnesium, omega-3s, turmeric, anti-inflammatory diets
• Physical therapy, acupuncture, and specialized pelvic pain clinics
• No clear connection between round ligament pain and endometriosis
• Deep excision risks include bleeding and organ injury but specialist complication rates are lower than for routine gynecological procedures
• Proper knowledge of pelvic nerves critical for preserving bladder and bowel function
