Endometriosis


Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue (inner uterine lining) outside of the uterus. This disorder affects approximately 10% of women in their reproductive years, and may be found in up to 40% of women with infertility. Endometriosis often results in painful periods, pain at intercourse, pelvic scarring and/or decreased fertility. Although such symptoms may suggest its presence, the diagnosis can only be confirmed surgically. At Yale Reproductive Endocrinology, we offer state of the art diagnosis and therapy for endometriosis. Our staff has extensive experience with all aspects of this disorder, including minimally invasive laser surgery, hormonal suppressions and advanced reproductive technologies.
