Endometriosis Hospitalization Rates Have Doubled, 96% of Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine Patients Have Stayed Out of the ER
14% of all pelvic pain patients report going to the ER as a first resort for their unmanageable pain. The PRM Protocol aims to end that with a proprietary direct treatment for pelvic pain in an office-based setting.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM), the premier, multi-disciplinary national leader in endometriosis care, believes that endo patients deserve better. Impacting one in nine women, endometriosis is historically under-recognized, underdiagnosed, and misunderstood. A chronic disease that impacts all aspects of a patients' life, it can take up to 12 years to receive a diagnosis. This leaves them feeling silenced, and often, resorting to the emergency room for their care. PRM data shows that 14% of all patients have gone to the ER as a first resort for their pelvic pain leading to unnecessary hospital admissions.
"Our patients have had multiple procedures and seen multiple providers prior to seeing us, shared Dr. Gautam Shrikhande, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine. "We can prevent trips to the ER as well as overall decrease the healthcare system misutilization because we are getting them on a path to healing faster with the tools they need."
PRM clinical data, based on thousands of patients nationwide shows that after the PRM Protocol, 96% of patients did not need to go to the ER for their pelvic pain in the past 3 months.
Endometriosis-related hospitalizations are tracked based on emergency visits and surgery. For this disease, the diagnosis and treatment often involve surgery. Recent data showed that endometriosis-related hospitalizations doubled within the past decade, the highest increase seen among patients aged 20-29.
Endometriosis is a chronic condition with no cure. With the PRM Protocol, endometriosis patients can experience increased function and decreased pain, and most importantly, stay out of the emergency room and live their lives.
