  I am 4 weeks post surgery with Dr. Vidali. I feel better each day! I wish I met him sooner. In 2023, I went through extensive endometreosis workup at two major NYC hospitals and was not offered clinical advice for multiple symptoms that I have had for years. I started to believe there was no one skilled or confident to perform my laparoscopy and excisional surgery. I was living with chronic abdominal pain, back pain 9/10, endo belly/adeno belly 24/7, GI issues, chronic fatigue and nausea. Dr. Vidali was the first doctor who was paying attention to my history and pain. He is warm, kind and intelligent. He is excellent at reviewing the imaging and listening, he found things in minutes that the radiologists missed. His passion for this diagnosis and raising awareness is why I trusted him to do my surgery. He works with an enthusiastic team who makes you feel comfortable and safe. While I was in recovery on a Friday evening, he went to the waiting room and sat with my caretaker to explain the surgery in detail and how I was doing. The nurses, office and billing staff were all professional, prompt and available. I have only good things to say!  If you are local or have to travel a far distance to meet him, it is worth it! He is the best.

  Having my surgery with Dr. Vidali was the absolute best decision. Such a genuine and caring doctor! All of his staff are equally as wonderful! I had a complex stage 4 case of endometriosis that included a bowel resection and after too many years of suffering and mistreatment/misdiagnosis, I literally feel like a new woman. Don't go anywhere else. ❤

  Dr. Vidali is an excellent and caring physician. He takes the time to listen to his patients’ experiences and answer all questions. He is very knowledgeable, skilled, and very kind. He addressed all follow up concerns  promptly and helped with anything that came up after surgery. I had very little pain after an extensive endometriosis surgery, and I believe that is due to his skill and planning. Thank you, Dr. Vidali!

  After trying everything else, Dr. Vidali did my excision six months ago and I’ve never felt better. I went from 10 out of 10 pain to 0 out of 10 pain these last six months, which has never happened in over 20 years. I’m a new person. It’s a totally different life without pain, fatigue, GI issues. I’ll be forever grateful.

  If I could give Dr. Vidali 100 stars, I would. The summer of 2022 I started having debilitating periods with slowly got worse. It went from mild pain during my period to daily pain that disturbed my life. In 2023 I had multiple ultrasounds to be told that everything was unremarkable and the only way to help was hormonal birth control. I tried every type of birth control out there and it would work for a few months until I found myself in pain that continued to get more severe.  I finally switched OB-Gyn doctors and was told I might have endometriosis. I knew I had to not only go to an OB-Gyn but one who specializes specifically with endometriosis excision surgery. I live near Boston and consulted with the amazing team up here(will leave them nameless but I think they are great), but the wait for surgery was about 14 months out. I couldn’t wait that long with my deteriorating condition. I found Dr. Vidali from a friend who went to him. I filled out the forms and in 48 hours had an in person consultation scheduled for 8 days later. His office staff was warm and welcoming, answering my questions prior to my appointment. Dr. Vidali spent an hour with me which included an ultrasound where he immediately saw what looked like adenomyosis. He laid out a few possible treatment plans for me and gave me all the pros and cons. He was confident he could get me out of the pain I was in daily and my life back. I felt heard, validated, and understood. I scheduled surgery for 7 weeks later. The nurses and office staff answered all my questions no matter how minor they were. I went into surgery with debilitating back pain that started in my lower back and would extend at the worst of times up to my neck and down to my knees. I was in constant pelvic pain. I barely slept because of how uncomfortable I was. I had daily issues with my GI track no matter what I did. I came out of surgery after a hysterectomy, appendectomy, and excision of endometriosis with absolutely no back pain. I am currently almost 4 weeks post operation with no back pain, my GI problems are basically resolved, and I do not have any more pelvic pain like before. I have normal pain from healing from a major surgery but still feel better than I have in years. Dr. Vidali and his staff continue to communicate with me, and respond quickly to anything I need. I cannot thank him enough for giving me my life back.

  I had excision surgery with Dr. Vidali this past April and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone struggling with endo. I have stage IV disease involving many organs and he was able excise it all while keeping my fertility intact. He is highly skilled with excellent bedside manner and checked in on me several times post-op to made sure I was recovering well. I am 3 weeks out and feel incredible. His team coordinators were also well organized and spelled out every step of the process along the way.

Endometriosis in Adolescents: Early Signs and Treatment Options

Endometriosis is a condition that can affect adolescents, often going undiagnosed due to its complex and varied symptoms. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

Early Signs of Endometriosis

Adolescents may experience a range of symptoms that can be mistaken for other conditions:

Severe Menstrual Pain

Dysmenorrhea: Intense and debilitating menstrual cramps that may worsen over time.

Chronic Pelvic Pain

Persistent pain in the pelvic area, which can occur at any time, not just during menstruation.

Gastrointestinal Issues

Bloating and Nausea: Digestive discomfort, including bloating, nausea, and sometimes vomiting.
Bowel Symptoms: Painful bowel movements and diarrhea, particularly during menstrual periods.

Pain During Physical Activities

Pain during exercise or physical activities, which may be mistaken for other musculoskeletal issues.

Treatment Options for Adolescents

Early intervention is key to managing endometriosis and preventing long-term complications.

Medications

Pain Relievers: Over-the-counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen can help manage pain.
Hormonal Therapy: Birth control pills, Gn-RH agonists, and progestins can regulate or suppress menstruation, reducing symptoms.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Laparoscopy: This procedure allows for the removal of endometrial tissue through small incisions, providing significant pain relief and improving quality of life.

Lifestyle Changes

Diet: Anti-inflammatory diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids can help manage symptoms.
Exercise: Regular, gentle exercise can reduce pain and improve overall health.

Support and Counseling

Psychological Support: Therapy and support groups can help adolescents cope with the emotional and psychological impacts of endometriosis.

Endometriosis in Adolescents: Conclusion

Recognizing the early signs of endometriosis in adolescents is crucial for timely intervention and effective management. A combination of medical treatments, lifestyle changes, and support can significantly improve the quality of life for young individuals dealing with this condition.
