Experienced Endometriosis Doctor in Houston for Lasting Pelvic Pain Relief

What Is Endometriosis and How Does It Affect You?

Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus—often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, or pelvic walls. This misplaced tissue responds to hormonal changes, leading to inflammation, scarring, and sometimes severe pain. You may be experiencing endometriosis if you notice:

• Chronic pelvic or lower abdominal pain

• Painful periods (dysmenorrhea)

• Pain during or after intercourse

• Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding

• Digestive issues like bloating, diarrhea, or constipation

• Difficulty getting pregnant

These symptoms often go undiagnosed for years. At Katy Women’s Pelvic Health, our endometriosis doctor in Houston specializes in recognizing the subtle signs and providing treatment that’s both effective and compassionate.
