Understanding Endometriosis in Teens
Did you know that endometriosis isn’t just a condition for adults? It can also affect teenagers in a lot of the same ways. We understand that dealing with endometriosis can be challenging, especially when it’s not easy to diagnose or treat in adolescent females. But don’t worry, we’re here to help by discussing treatment options and ways to manage the pain.
Birth Control: Not Always the Answer
You might have heard about using birth control for managing endometriosis symptoms. While it can be helpful for many, it’s not always the best solution for everyone. Birth control pills can reduce pain and slow down the progression of endometriosis, but they can also cause unwanted side effects or worsen your symptoms. It’s essential to discuss with your healthcare provider and find the best treatment option for you, considering your unique circumstances.

Together, we can find the right approach to manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
The Power of Excision Surgery
One of the main treatments for endometriosis is something called excision surgery. It might sound a bit scary, but it’s actually an effective way to treat severe cases of endometriosis. During this surgery, the affected tissue is completely removed, rather than just burned off. Excision surgery can help to offer longer-lasting relief and can even improve your chances of having a baby in the future, if that is your hope. So, it’s definitely something worth considering if you’re struggling with severe pain.
PRM Protocol™ Pre-Hab and Post-Hab
Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine offers a specialized treatment for adolescents suffering from pain and symptoms caused by endometriosis. The PRM Protocol™ is a proprietary, simple, office-based procedure to treat the symptoms of chronic pelvic pain by a direct treatment of inflamed pelvic nerves and spastic pelvic muscles. This treatment involves a set of targeted procedures focusing on pelvic nerve and muscle treatments to alleviate inflammation in the pelvis, nerve pain, and spastic pelvic floor muscles.
The PRM Protocol™ can be beneficial both before and after endometriosis excision surgery. Prior to the surgery, it can help prepare the body by directly treating inflamed pelvic nerves and spastic pelvic muscles commonly associated with endometriosis. This can help reduce inflammation, alleviate pain symptoms, and optimize the pelvic environment for the upcoming surgery.
Following excision surgery, the PRM Protocol™ can aid in the recovery process. By continuing to target inflamed pelvic nerves and muscles, the protocol can help minimize postoperative pain, reduce the risk of complications, and facilitate a smoother healing process. The PRM Protocol™ works towards restoring functionality and promoting a pain-free lifestyle after surgery.
