What Does It Mean to Be “Cured”?
A “cure” generally refers to a treatment that eliminates a disease (endometriosis) or condition (pelvic pain). It implies eradication of the disease from the body and complete or lasting recovery or relief.
For many endometriosis patients, a cure is possible. By completely cutting out endometriosis, many patients experience long-term or permanent pain relief without recurrence. Not all patients will achieve this result, but many do.
“… the continuing lack of what should be easily obtainable evidence is taken as an indication that the theory of reflux menstruation as the origin of endometriosis is wrong.”
Dr. David Redwine, MD
Recognizing the Signs
What Is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is an abnormal tissue that can cause pain. It can be found anywhere in the body, but is usually found within the pelvis. A leading theory supported by clinical observation is that endometriosis originates during embryologic development, meaning patients are generally born with their endometriosis predetermined at birth.
Endometriosis Myths
There are many persistent myths about endometriosis:
- Endometriosis grow back.
- Endometriosis spreads.
- Endometriosis comes from the uterus.
- Hysterectomy is a cure for endometriosis.
- Hysterectomy is required to cure endometriosis.
- Removal of the ovaries cures endometriosis.
- Removal of the ovaries is required to cure endometriosis.
- Endometriosis needs to be periodically and repeatedly removed or treated.
- The same endometriosis surgery is needed more than once.
- Endometriosis cannot be cured.
The myth that is perhaps the most damaging to patients is that “endometriosis cannot be cured.” This belief can be deeply harmful, leaving many women without hope or leading them to believe that they’ll need repeated surgeries over the course of their life. Many patients who come to see me are surprised to learn that in many cases endometriosis can be cured.
Your Treatment Pathway
My Experience
By operating on hundreds of endometriosis patients per year I see the true character and nature of this disease. My clinical experiences are consistent with the theory of Embryonically Patterned Metaplasia (EPM) and mulleriosis. The theory of EPM / mulleriosis essentially describes the origin of endometriosis as arising during fetal development before birth. The physicians performing hundreds of excision cases per year often report similar observations.
I am an endometriosis surgeon—a specialist who offers comprehensive treatment options for endometriosis and pelvic pain, including laparoscopic excision surgery.

Are You Dealing with Pain or Anxiety from Endometriosis?
If you are suffering from pelvic pain or endometriosis and your physician offers you laser ablation, diagnostic laparoscopy, hysterectomy alone, ovarian removal, or the same surgery repeatedly, then I encourage you to seek a second opinion.
