Preparation includes a pre-surgical evaluation, imaging studies, and discussing the procedure and recovery process with your medical team.

Surgery may be recommended for severe pain, heavy bleeding, infertility, or when other treatments have not provided sufficient relief from endometriosis symptoms.

A Urine Pregnancy Test (UPT) detects the presence of the hormone hCG in a woman’s urine to confirm pregnancy.

You can take a UPT if you have missed your period or are experiencing early pregnancy symptoms.

The UPT is highly accurate when performed correctly and can detect pregnancy within a few days of a missed period.

The test involves collecting a urine sample and using a test strip or device to detect hCG levels.

If your UPT result is positive, contact your healthcare provider to discuss the next steps and begin prenatal care.
