If you are facing these challenges, partnering with a specialist can make all the difference. Dr. Lily Tsai, MD, offers a personalized, integrative approach, bridging advanced surgical removal with consistent medical therapies to provide the most complete relief possible.

Understanding your treatment options for endometriosis

Navigating your choices for care can feel overwhelming, but knowing exactly what to expect is the first step toward reclaiming your comfort. For many patients, a combination of excision surgery and tailored medical management offers the most effective results. This approach allows your doctor to diagnose the disease and remove the painful lesions at their source.

Before the procedure

Dr. Tsai will begin by carefully reviewing your symptoms, medical imaging, treatment history and reproductive goals. Since the only definitive way to diagnose endometriosis is through surgery, a laparoscopy may be recommended if your symptoms strongly suggest the condition and medical management is not recommended or preferred.

During the procedure

Using minimally invasive laparoscopic and/or robotic techniques, Dr. Tsai will fully evaluate your abdomen, pelvis and surrounding tissues for any signs of endometriosis. If visible lesions are found, they are removed through excision during the same procedure. The primary goals of surgical treatment are to reduce pain, improve organ function and preserve or enhance future fertility.

After the procedure

Most patients can go home the same day and gradually resume their normal activities over the following days to weeks. Your recovery timeline will vary depending on the extent of the disease and the complexity of the surgery.

Since endometriosis is a chronic condition, Dr. Tsai may also recommend ongoing medical therapies to help manage your symptoms and reduce the risk of recurrence.
