A recent Yahoo Finance article is shining a much-needed spotlight on a problem we see every day in our practice: teen girls suffering from debilitating menstrual pain that is far too often dismissed as “normal.”
At The Center for Innovative GYN Care (CIGC), we know that severe cramps, missed school, heavy bleeding, and reliance on painkillers are not just “part of growing up.” These symptoms are red flags that could point to endometriosis — even in teenagers.
Despite the increasing awareness, endometriosis in teens remains dangerously underdiagnosed, largely because many general OBGYNs are not trained to recognize or treat it early. This delay in care can lead to years of unnecessary pain, emotional distress, and future fertility issues.
For over 20 years, our board-certified GYN hyper-specialist surgeons have specialized in the minimally invasive, fertility-sparing treatment of complex GYN conditions — including endometriosis in teens and young adults.
We believe that early intervention matters. When patients — and parents — have access to the right specialists, everything changes. We often hear the same phrase from families:
We wish we found you sooner.
If your daughter or teen is missing school, struggling to function during her period, or has been told “it’s normal,” it’s time to dig deeper.
The CIGC state-of-the-art specialists are available at three locations in the DC metro area. Virginia patients can visit the Reston, VA location. Our Maryland office is located in Rockville, MD.
CIGC is dedicated to providing information and materials for women to help navigate the complicated healthcare system. The CIGC founders, minimally invasive GYN surgical specialists Dr. Paul MacKoul, MD and Dr. Natalya Danilyants, MD, developed their advanced GYN surgical techniques using only two small incisions with patients’ well-being in mind.
Their personalized approach to care helps patients understand their condition and the recommended treatment so that they can have confidence from the very start. Our surgeons have performed over 20,000 GYN procedures and are constantly finding better ways to improve outcomes for patients.
