Specializes in Gynecology

Endometriosis?: You may have endometriosis, a condition where menstruation producing tissue is found in different parts and areas of the body. If you pain is always when you are having your period, there is a high chance this is endometriosis. The gold standard for diagnosing endometriosis is with laparoscopy (key-hole incisions) performed by a gynecologist in a hospital where the patient goes home the same day.
