Expert endometriosis care, close to home

Endometriosis - more than "just" period pain

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects one in ten American women of reproductive age. It occurs when tissue that mimics the lining of the uterus grows in other parts of the body, which can cause painful periods, bleeding, infertility and other symptoms.

Endometriosis pain can vary between patients, with some women experiencing only mild discomfort and others living with debilitating pain.

"Some women experience mild symptoms while others' pain causes them to miss work, school, social events," said J'Leise Sosa, MD, MPH, FACOG, medical director of Golisano Children's Hospital of Buffalo (GCH Buffalo) OBGYN Centers. "Imagine being in pain some days, most days and sometimes every day."

A comprehensive network of endometriosis care

Whether you're looking for a diagnosis, a second opinion, medication management or surgical options, Kaleida Health has a site offering specialized endometriosis care with experienced, compassionate professionals.

Inclusive treatment and support at GCH Buffalo OBGYN Clinics

At the GCH Buffalo OBGYN Centers, clinicians emphasize a holistic, collaborative approach to care. They begin with a thorough history of symptoms, even those that may not initially be thought associated with endometriosis.

Specialists then move on to enhanced ultrasound. This advanced service is only available in the Buffalo area at GCH Buffalo OBGYN Clinics, and allows the team to diagnose and intricately map out where the endometriosis has spread, how advanced it is and figure out a plan.

Treatments may involve medication or minimally-invasive gynecological surgery conveniently located on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC), and depend on a patient's specific goals (pain relief vs. pregnancy), but follow-up care and support are always included. Pelvic floor therapy and mental health support remain a critical resource to helping patients recover, with Kensington OBGYN going a step beyond by providing onsite mental health professionals to support patients.
