It's a new day in pelvic healthcare.

Endometriosis and Chest Pain: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Specialized Care

Are you experiencing chest pain or shortness of breath around your period? Learn how endometriosis may affect the diaphragm and lung cavity.

Are You Experiencing Chest Pain with Your Period?

Do you feel chest pain or shortness of breath during your cycle or a few days before?

Have you ever experienced a spontaneous lung collapse without a clear explanation?

In rare cases, endometriosis can spread to distant locations, such as the diaphragm, and create holes that allow the disease to infiltrate the lung cavity. While most patients won’t experience a lung collapse, they may feel similar symptoms if endometriosis affects the diaphragm.

At ESSE Care, we offer a multi-specialty team, including some of the best cardiothoracic surgeons, to manage these complex cases. If you’ve had unsuccessful chest surgeries or suspect your symptoms have been overlooked, we are happy to review your case and connect you with expert cardiothoracic surgeons specializing in extensive endometriosis.
