Hello and thank you for a thoughtful, well-articulated article. I am wondering where to get the best expertise in the DMV area for pain management (or other NON-contraceptive treatment) for primary dysmenorrhea in a young patient that had no endometriosis visible by laparoscopy, but does not tolerate hormonal treatments. Unfortunately years of going doctor to doctor has been a nightmare for this particular patient since most providers are focused on types of birth control and these are not viable for this patient for a variety of reasons (side effects from Mirena, allergy to glue in the patch, high risk family history of breast cancer etc). Luckily this patient is a lesbian and therefore does not require birth control for contraceptive purposes, but she does want to have children a few years from now and so the last resort at this point is going to be hysterectomy with egg freezing followed by IVF using a surrogate and a donor. So far all the many doctors and supposed experts can’t seem to wrap their brains around all this unusual but perfectly reasonable information to then provide a viable treatment plan. Your advice is very much appreciated.

Hi SRM,
Thank you for sharing and we apologize for your poor experience.
