We have just completed a series of Randomized Clinical Trials, on the efficacy of a new drug for the management of pelvic pains associated with endometriosis. We hope that the drug will be approved by the FDA in the near future. We continue to perform basic and clinical research to identify the cause of Endometriosis, to develop non-invasive diagnostic tests, and to evaluate new treatment methods.
Dr. Dmowski recently lectured on “Endometriosis, What Every Medical Practitioner Should Know” at the Chicago Medical Society’s 69th Annual Midwest Clinical Conference, in Chicago.
A Feature Article in the February 2017 issue of Chicago Medicine Magazine was written by Dr. Dmowski, entitled “Endometriosis: What Every Physician Should Know” along with Who’s Who featuring Dr. Dmowski’s career highlights on “Fighting Infertility and Endometriosis” also in the same issue.
Endometriosis is a poorly understood disease without known cure. Endometriosis involves the female reproductive system but may also spread to distant organs. Endometriosis Institute conducts endometriosis research, clinical and educational activities, and provides a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of endometriosis.
We offer the following endometriosis clinical services:
Basic & clinical research activities:
We offer endometriosis educational resources:
Since 2004, our IVF pregnancy rates in women with endometriosis younger than 35 are upwards of 50%. We also have had pregnancies and babies delivered from unfertilized cryo-preserved eggs. This offers women with endometriosis a chance for cryopreservation and storage of their eggs until they are ready to start a family.
Women with rapidly progressing endometriosis who are not in position to begin their families may benefit from cryopreservation of eggs for future fertilization and pregnancy.
Many women have unfertilized eggs cryopreserved and stored with a modified technique. The eggs were then thawed and fertilized and the resulting embryos were transferred.
This approach offers women with endometriosis, career women who wish to delay childbirth, couples troubled by freezing embryos, and for those facing treatments that will affect their fertility a chance for cryopreservation and storage of their eggs until they are ready to start a family.
