Then, we perform an internal exam (no speculum) to evaluate your nerves and muscles. Together, we'll discuss an individual treatment plan that gets to the root cause of your pain and helps you to feel better. The best part: you can begin treatment the same day!

Hello, I'm Dr. Madhu Bagaria and I'm your endometriosis excision surgeon in New Jersey and New York area. I'm here to discuss an important topic which is asked frequently by my patient as whether I will die from stage 4 endometriosis. The answer is absolutely no. While endometriosis is a progressive condition, it's not cancerous.

The development of cancer in endometriosis is extremely rare. Endometriosis can cause increased morbidity in your life in terms of quality of life issues, mental health issues, fatigue. But it does not lead to death.

Nice, feeling how the bloating and pain receded within approximately two months made all the difference, I simply go’ogled the latest by Tilly Strankten and her Ovarian Cyst Guide and although it really took about 10 weeks for it to totally shrink and vanish I’ve never felt so light and relaxed.
