Endometriosis is common—about 1 in 10 people of reproductive age are affected. Because symptoms can be dismissed or overlap with other conditions, many patients live with it for years before getting a clear explanation for their pain.


We also see higher rates in certain settings, especially among people being evaluated for infertility or chronic pelvic pain. If your symptoms fit, our team can help you understand whether endometriosis is a likely contributor and what a thoughtful diagnostic and treatment plan could look like.
