Beyond Surgery: A Personalized Approach to Pain, Hormone Health, and Chronic Stress
If you're a woman struggling with persistent pain, unexplained fatigue, mood swings, or hormone imbalances—and nothing seems to work—you’re not alone. Many women reach a point where they’ve tried everything: medications, diet changes, countless appointments, even surgery. Still, the symptoms linger. Still, no one has found the root cause.
At Luxe Integrative Medicine, we see these women every day. They’ve been told their labs are “normal.” They’ve been prescribed the same treatment again and again. Some have undergone major procedures—hysterectomies, laparoscopies, ablations—with little to no long-term relief. The pain persists, sometimes even worsens, leaving them feeling hopeless about their options.
We understand how exhausting it is to feel unheard, dismissed, or told, “Everything looks fine,” when clearly, it doesn’t feel that way. That’s exactly where our work begins.
Why “Normal” Doesn’t Always Mean Healthy
Conventional medicine excels in emergencies, but when it comes to chronic issues—especially those involving hormones, stress, and pain—it can fall short. A symptom-based approach often misses the deeper, systemic imbalances at play. This is particularly true for endometriosis and related conditions, where surgical removal of lesions addresses only one piece of a complex puzzle. Rather than providing answers, patients often experience temporary relief or, worse, receive misdiagnoses and ineffective treatments.
We take a different path. We focus on root-cause medicine—an approach that investigates why the body is out of balance and how to correct it for the long term.
We often help women struggling with:
Endometriosis
Post-surgical pain and complications from endometriosis procedures
Fibroids
Chronic pelvic pain
Fatigue and brain fog
Sleep issues
Post-surgical pain
Mood shifts tied to hormonal changes
These aren't just "women's issues"—they're serious, complex health concerns that deserve a comprehensive, science-backed, and personalized strategy. Surgery may remove visible disease, but it often doesn't address the underlying inflammatory processes, hormonal triggers, or systemic dysfunction that allows conditions like endometriosis to persist and cause ongoing pain.
When Chronic Stress Disrupts Everything
One of the most overlooked root causes of persistent symptoms is chronic stress. High-pressure careers, caregiving, trauma, and hormonal transitions all take a toll. Over time, chronic stress impacts the nervous system, hormones, digestion, and immune function, creating a cascade of symptoms that can feel impossible to trace.
At Luxe Integrative Medicine, we don’t just acknowledge stress—we measure it. We assess cortisol patterns, adrenal function, and how well your body is adapting to daily life. From there, we incorporate tools like lifestyle coaching, nervous system regulation, and targeted supplementation to help restore calm and balance.
A Closer Look at Hormonal Imbalance
Hormones regulate everything: energy, mood, weight, libido, sleep, and even cognitive clarity. Yet, when women report issues like irregular cycles, PMS, hot flashes, or low energy, they’re often told to “wait it out” or handed birth control or antidepressants as a blanket solution.
For conditions like endometriosis, hormonal imbalances often persist even after surgical treatment. Estrogen dominance, progesterone deficiency, and inflammatory hormone pathways continue to drive symptoms long after lesions are removed.
That’s not enough.
With over 30 years of experience in gynecology and women’s health, Dr. Naraine brings an unmatched depth of knowledge to hormone care. Using advanced lab testing—beyond what’s typically offered in a standard workup—we assess thyroid function, estrogen/progesterone balance, testosterone levels, adrenal health, and more.
From there, we develop an individualized plan that might include
Nutrition & lifestyle shifts
Adaptogenic herbs and high-quality supplements
Targeted anti-inflammatory protocols for post-surgical healing
The goal? True hormonal balance—not just symptom suppression.
When Pain Persists, Even After Surgery
Some of our patients have already undergone surgery for conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, or pelvic adhesions—yet their pain persists. While these procedures may remove problematic tissue or correct anatomy, they often don’t address inflammation, nerve sensitization, hormonal triggers, or gut dysfunction that contribute to long-term discomfort.
This is where our surgical expertise and integrative approach truly shine.
We help women explore what surgery may have missed—examining gut health, immune responses, toxin exposure, and more—to uncover overlooked sources of pain. By understanding the full picture, we often help women finally break the cycle of persistent, post-surgical pain.
You’re Not Out of Options—You Just Haven’t Been Heard
If you've undergone surgery for endometriosis or other pelvic conditions and you're still in pain, please know that you have options. If you've been told "everything looks normal," yet you know something still isn't right, it's time to take a fresh approach.
At Luxe Integrative Medicine, we specialize in assisting women who feel like they've reached a plateau. Women whose surgical treatments haven't provided the relief they were promised. Women who are tired of being told "it's just stress" or "just aging." Women who were told surgery would fix everything, only to find themselves back where they started—or worse.
You deserve to be seen, heard, and understood. Your post-surgical pain is not something you have to live with forever. If you've tried everything and are still not feeling well, don't give up. Schedule a consultation with our team and discover what's possible when your care is truly personalized, thorough, and built around you—not just around removing tissue, but around healing your whole system.
