Endometriosis Center

(415) 885-7788

The UCSF Endometriosis Center provides personalized care for women with all stages of endometriosis and related disorders. Our team includes experts from diverse backgrounds and specialties, such as gynecologic surgeons, physical therapists, urogynecologists, sexual health experts, alternative and integrative medicine providers, pain experts, fertility doctors, radiologists and psychologists. We work together to create a comprehensive plan tailored to each patient.

We help women address the symptoms and complications of endometriosis, including:

Adenomyosis (endometrial tissue within the uterine wall)
Constipation
Diarrhea
Fatigue
Heavy periods
Infertility
Lower back and stomach pain during periods
Nausea
Pain with urination or with a full bladder
Pelvic pain and cramping before and during periods
Pelvic pain during intercourse

An initial consultation typically includes a review of your medical history, a pelvic exam and a discussion of treatment options. At the end, you'll receive a personalized plan that you can share with your gynecologist.

If surgery is considered, our surgeons can perform vaginal, laparoscopic or robotic procedures through incisions as small as 5 to 8 millimeters. We may use these minimally invasive approaches for hysterectomy, myomectomy or removal of endometrial tissue.
