I am 18, and I was referred to Dr. Delgado by my primary care provider to help me with pelvic pain. I have had pelvic pain since starting my period at age 12.

 

I used to play multiple sports, and now I couldn't [because of the pain]. I had been looking for answers and searching for my symptoms online, and I began to think I may have endo. My pain had gotten progressively worse, but no one believed this might be endometriosis because I am too young, and my pain is "not that bad."

​

Dr. Delgado heard and listened to me from day one. She believed me when I told her about my pain, and she gave me a ton of options. I started with medication at first but ultimately opted for surgery because I wanted to go to college feeling normal. I got my surgery 2 months later, and I could not be happier. My summer was awesome, and I am playing sports again without pain. The surgery was so helpful in decreasing pain levels and my peace of mind.

 

The whole team has been incredible. They can help.
