The Center for Innovative GYN Care

08/29/2025

Did you know that many women with fibroids also have undiagnosed endometriosis?

This patient came to The Center for Innovative GYN Care (CIGC) for fertility-preserving fibroid removal with our advanced LAAM (Laparoscopically Assisted Abdominal Myomectomy) procedure. She didn't know she also had endometriosis.

Her ultrasound showed fibroids—but endometriosis can’t be seen on imaging, since the lesions are almost always too small. With LAAM, we removed her fibroids and diagnosed, excised, and biopsied her endometriosis—all in the same surgery.

Most women are instead offered open surgery for fibroid removal, which means larger scars, higher costs, longer recovery, and more complications. It also misses endometriosis, since only a laparoscopic camera can reveal these tiny lesions.

At CIGC, patients benefit from the smallest possible incisions, fewer complications, same-day discharge from our outpatient centers (not a crowded hospital), and the most advanced fertility-sparing techniques.

From more than 20 years of data, we know endometriosis is present in nearly 50% of women with fibroids. Treating both conditions at once leads to better outcomes, preserved fertility, and peace of mind.

Wondering how to get rid of fibroids without losing your uterus? 💛
The LAAM® myomectomy, developed at CIGC, completely removes fibroids while preserving fertility. Unlike other options, it offers less pain and a faster recovery—about 2 weeks instead of 6.

✨So many women are told their only choices are “wait and see,” UFE, or open myomectomy—procedures that can leave fibroids behind, prolong recovery, or risk fertility. But here’s what most don’t hear:

👉 At CIGC, even large or complex fibroids can be removed minimally invasively in an outpatient procedure—so you can go home the same day with tiny incisions, minimal bleeding, and a faster recovery.

👉 For women who don’t wish to preserve fertility, CIGC specialists also perform minimally invasive hysterectomy—sparing the cervix when appropriate, protecting the pelvic floor, and helping you return to life sooner.

Women deserve all the facts, not just the “standard” options. Your health and your quality of life are worth expert care.

Read our new blog to understand the differences between UFE, open myomectomy, minimally invasive hysterectomy, and advanced laparoscopic procedures—so you can make the best choice for you. 🔗https://innovativegyn.com/researching-fibroids-surgery-options-heres-what-you-need-to-know

Endometriosis isn’t the whole story. 8 in 10 women with it also have this hidden bladder condition.

If you’ve been told your pelvic pain is “just part of life”—think again.
Up to 80% of women with endometriosis also have interstitial cystitis (IC), a bladder-related pain condition that’s often overlooked—just like endometriosis itself. Alone or together, these conditions can quietly erode a woman’s quality of life.

At CIGC, our board-certified GYN surgical specialists—with more than 18 years of experience—never overlook either condition. We identify, diagnose, and treat them using advanced, minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy and hydrodistension.

Early detection changes everything. Don’t settle for pain when expert, tailored care can protect your future.

Shelby didn’t believe a 7–10 day recovery was possible.
But after her DualPortGYN hysterectomy for endometriosis, she was back to work on day seven 💪

No weeks of recovery. No big scars. No regrets.

Most hysterectomy options mean 3–8 weeks of downtime, higher costs, and a harder recovery. DualPortGYN was designed to change that.

Be like Shelby—don’t settle for pain. Choose a better path ✨

If your daughter is being told her pain is “normal,” please read this. 💔 You might remember hearing the same thing.
⠀
I’ve spent over a decade treating teens with endometriosis—and I’m heartbroken and furious that not much has changed.
⠀
They’re still being dismissed. Still being told they’re too young to have a real condition. Still being left to suffer silently, like so many of us once were.
⠀
This isn’t just frustrating—it’s dangerous. It delays diagnosis. It damages self-worth. It can cost these girls their fertility.
⠀
It’s time to break the cycle. 🔁 I wrote about this in my new op-ed. The link is in my bio.
⠀
Please share. Let’s make enough noise that they have to listen.

“That’s just your abs.”
That’s what she was told—for six years.

But it wasn’t abs. It was a uterus stretched by two massive fibroids: 15cm and 6.6cm. She had:

💥 Pelvic pain that came in waves
🚽 Urgency to p*e, constantly
🩸 Periods that left her exhausted
😣 A bulge that didn’t match her body

She finally got an ultrasound—and answers.

🛠 This was a complicated case, due to the size and location of the fibroids.
But we removed over 1000g of fibroids through a minimally invasive myomectomy—
✨ No hospital stay
✨ Just two tiny incisions
✨ Fertility preserved

She went home the same day.
She’s healed. And now she knows what her body should feel like.

She’ll never be dismissed again.
She’ll never accept pain as normal.

Neither should you.

You can’t see them. You can’t feel them forming. But pelvic adhesions can silently bind your organs together—causing pain, bloating, painful s*x, and even infertility.

They don’t always show up on imaging. Many women live with them for years without answers.

The only effective treatment? Surgical removal—done carefully to avoid causing more adhesions in the process.

Most cervical cancer doesn’t come with symptoms—until it’s too late.
That’s why routine screening is critical.

✔️ Get a Pap test every 3 years (or every 5 with HPV co-testing)
✔️ Ask your doctor about your HPV status
✔️ Stay up to date—even if you feel perfectly fine

Catching changes early prevents cancer.

At CIGC, we specialize in diagnosing and treating abnormal Pap results and cervical dysplasia with expert, minimally invasive care.

Far too many women are told to “watch and wait” while fibroids quietly grow—causing relentless pain, infertility, and turning simple procedures into complex surgeries. Black women, in particular, face longer delays, more severe symptoms, and fewer referrals to specialists.

That’s why we fully support the Uterine Fibroid Research and Education Act—a powerful step forward that would expand NIH research, require clear treatment guidelines from HHS, and launch national education efforts to close these gaps in care.

We support Senator Angela Alsobrooks (), Representative Shontel Brown (), and founder Tanika Gray Valbrun () as they stand up for the millions of women living with fibroids.

At our GYN surgical centers, we see firsthand how early access to expert, minimally invasive care transforms lives. Delaying treatment isn’t harmless—it’s harmful.

This legislation gives us hope. And until change reaches every woman, we’ll keep fighting beside you.

British journalist Naga Munchetty used to set alarms in the middle of the night—just to change her pads and underwear. Her bleeding was that heavy. The pain was so intense, she’d vomit. Sometimes, she nearly fainted.

It took 32 years before she was finally diagnosed with adenomyosis—a painful condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows into the muscle wall, causing debilitating periods.

We diagnose and treat adenomyosis every week. But too often, women like Naga struggle to find us—because their symptoms are minimized, misdiagnosed, or dismissed by non-specialist providers.

That’s why we allow patients to book directly with us—no gatekeeping, no delay.

For 18+ years, we’ve been listening to women who’ve been told “it’s just your period”… and helping them reclaim their lives.

And remember: consistent pain is never normal. You don’t have to live like this.
