There is more to treatment and care than excision surgery alone, which is not curative. Endometriosis is a complex systemic inflammatory disease - challenges are often around handling the different aspects of Endometriosis. “Before seeing us, patients have waited 8+ years for a diagnosis. That is a long time for inflammation to build up in the pelvic cavity from the inflammatory cytokines released by endometriosis plaques,” says Dr. Allyson Shrikhande, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine. “As Endometriosis is a surgical diagnosis, Excision Surgery is a great first step. However, as it is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease process, an annual check in with your pelvic pain specialist is important to optimize approaches to decrease endometriosis plaque proliferation.” PRM’s simple office-based procedure, The PRM Protocol™, directly targets the inflammation in the pelvis, pelvic nerve pain, and pelvic floor muscle spasms. The goal is to reverse the neurogenic inflammatory process in the pelvis. Research has shown endometriosis proliferates in an environment that has inflammatory cytokines “swimming around”. Therefore, optimizing the pelvic environment with less inflammation will have a positive effect not only on pelvic pain but also on endometriosis plaque growth and rate of recurrence. Combining the PRM Protocol™ with lifestyle modifications including nutrition, exercise, mindfulness mediation, and certain medications tailored to patient goals may help decrease the recurrence rate and decrease the total number of surgeries endometriosis patients need to undergo in a lifetime. A more proactive and preventative approach to endometriosis results in less pain over a longer time – 75% of PRM patients note a statistically significant Improvement in Pain and Function.
