Neuropelviology , it is an extremely important aspect of endometriosis care. I find it fascinating and interesting to learn.
Luckily there are several excellent learning institutions that can provide the teaching resources for surgeons. This translates to better understanding and care of our patients symptoms. Short and long term.

When to Consider Surgery in Adolescents
• No single “magic age,” but more important is the stage of symptom impact and maturity.
• Surgery may be considered when:
• Symptoms are severe and refractory to medical therapy
• Quality of life is significantly impaired (school absences, inability to participate in activities)
• The adolescent and family understand the risks, benefits, and alternatives
• For many patients, surgery is often delayed until late teens (16–18+) unless urgent symptoms require earlier intervention.

🇮🇷 Farsi (فارسی):
چه زمانی باید جراحی را در نوجوانان در نظر گرفت
• هیچ «سن جادویی» مشخصی وجود ندارد، مهم‌تر از سن، مرحلهٔ شدت علائم و میزان بلوغ بیمار است.
• جراحی ممکن است زمانی در نظر گرفته شود که:
• علائم شدید بوده و به درمان دارویی پاسخ نداده باشد
• کیفیت زندگی به‌طور قابل توجهی مختل شده باشد (غیبت از مدرسه، ناتوانی در انجام فعالیت‌ها)
• نوجوان و خانواده از خطرات، مزایا و گزینه‌های جایگزین آگاه باشند
• برای بسیاری از بیماران، جراحی اغلب تا اواخر نوجوانی (۱۶ تا ۱۸ سال به بالا) به تأخیر می‌افتد مگر اینکه علائم اورژانسی نیاز به مداخله زودتر داشته باشد.

🇪🇸 Spanish (Español):
Cuándo considerar la cirugía en adolescentes
• No existe una “edad mágica” específica; lo más importante es el grado de impacto de los síntomas y la madurez del paciente.
• La cirugía puede considerarse cuando:
• Los síntomas son graves y refractarios al tratamiento médico
• La calidad de vida está significativamente afectada (ausencias escolares, incapacidad para participar en actividades)
• El adolescente y la familia comprenden los riesgos, beneficios y alternativas
• En muchos pacientes, la cirugía suele retrasarse hasta la adolescencia tardía (16–18 años o más), a menos que síntomas urgentes requieran una intervención más temprana.

Pelvic pain and women’s health conditions are more common than many realize. 💛

- Endometriosis may affect 20–35% of people with a uterus.
- Adenomyosis can cause chronic abdominal and pelvic pain, as well as infertility.
- Fibroids impact 70% of Caucasian women and 80% of women of African American ancestry, often causing pain, heavy periods, and fertility challenges.
- Postpartum and menopause changes continue to affect pelvic comfort and function.

Chronic pelvic pain affects roughly 15% of women and can present as abdominal or pelvic pain, painful in*******se, urinary symptoms, or infertility. These are only a few of the symptoms for each condition, but the truth is, no two experiences with pelvic pain are the same. 💛

These statistics show just how prevalent pelvic health challenges are, understanding them is the first step toward recognition, diagnosis, and effective care. 🌿

Levator Ani Syndrome: What You Need to Know 💛

Levator Ani Syndrome happens when the pelvic floor muscles stay tight for too long, leading to deep aching, pressure, or sharp discomfort in the re**al area, tailbone, or lower pelvis. It’s one of the more common (and often overlooked) causes of chronic pelvic pain.

If you’re experiencing symptoms like pain with sitting, painful bowel movements, urinary urgency, pelvic spasms, or pain during in*******se, you’re not alone, and it is treatable.

At PRM, we look at the full picture: muscle tension, nerve irritation, posture, stress response, and pelvic floor coordination. With the right care, these symptoms can improve significantly.

You deserve answers, validation, and a plan that actually helps. 💛

Seeing an Endo Excision Specialist Can Change Your Entire Care Journey 💛

Endometriosis is a complex, whole-body disease, and getting the right care early can make all the difference. While many patients start with a general OB-GYN, endometriosis often requires a higher level of expertise to be properly identified and treated.

Here’s why working with an endo excision specialist matters:

✨ They use the gold-standard surgical approach, excision removes disease at the root, not just the surface.
✨ They’re trained in complex pelvic anatomy, so deep or hidden lesions aren’t missed.
✨ They prioritize fertility, pain reduction, and long-term outcomes, especially for patients navigating chronic symptoms.
✨ They understand that imaging often misses disease, and know how to diagnose and treat endo accurately.

At PRM, our care model was built around this: early recognition, comprehensive pelvic health support, and coordination with skilled excision surgeons when surgery is needed. Every step is designed to shorten diagnostic delays and help patients finally feel seen, heard, and treated with the expertise they deserve.

💛 Your symptoms are real. Your pain is valid. And the right specialist matters. Schedule an appointment today.

It’s not laziness, it’s endometriosis fatigue.

Fatigue is one of the most common yet misunderstood symptoms of endometriosis.
Chronic inflammation, pain, disrupted sleep, and the body’s constant effort to manage symptoms can significantly drain energy levels.

This type of fatigue isn’t “just being tired.”
It’s a physiological response linked directly to the condition, and it deserves proper acknowledgement and care.

Understanding these symptoms helps patients advocate for themselves and seek the support they need.

A Cozy Swap That Supports Pelvic Health ☕💛

Inflammation plays a major role in chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, and overall nervous system sensitivity. What you sip can either calm that inflammation, or quietly aggravate it.

Warm drinks are especially powerful because they:
• Relax pelvic floor and abdominal muscles
• Support smoother digestion
• Help regulate the stress response
• Provide steady comfort without triggering flares

That’s why small nutrition swaps, like choosing an anti-inflammatory cocoa, can make a noticeable difference over time. You still get warmth, comfort, and sweetness, without the inflammatory load that can amplify pelvic pain.

Healing isn’t about restriction.
It’s about being intentional with the things that help your body feel safer, calmer, and more supported.

A small mug, a small moment, but a meaningful shift for your pelvis.

Endometriosis is not “just painful periods.”
It’s not something to “push through.”
And it is absolutely not normal.

Endometriosis is recognized as one of the top 10 most painful medical conditions in the world, alongside kidney stones, chronic migraine, and complex regional pain syndrome.

Yet patients are still told their symptoms are exaggerated, hormonal, or “nothing to worry about.” This gap between the severity of the condition and the way people are treated is one of the biggest reasons endometriosis often goes undiagnosed for years.

At PRM, we want every patient to know:
Your pain is real. Your experience is valid. And you deserve care that takes you seriously.

If you’re living with:
• debilitating pelvic or period pain
• pain with in*******se or bowel movements
• infertility without answers
• symptoms that disrupt your work, relationships, and daily life

You are not alone, and you are not overreacting.

Our pelvic pain specialists work to identify the root cause of symptoms, reduce inflammation, and support patients through diagnosis, treatment, and long-term relief.

Endo is one of the most painful conditions on the planet.
You deserve care that reflects that reality.

Pelvic tension doesn’t just show up in the pelvis.
Because your pelvic floor connects to your core, hips, jaw, and nervous system, the symptoms can appear in unexpected places.

Constipation, jaw pain, low libido, clenching, frequent urination, lower back pain, difficulty with insertion, or challenges with or***ms can all be signs of a pelvic floor that’s working too hard.

Understanding these patterns is the first step toward understanding your body, and knowing these symptoms are common, real, and worth paying attention to.
