Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus. This misplaced tissue continues to behave like endometrial tissue—thickening, breaking down, and bleeding with each menstrual cycle—but it has no way to exit the body, leading to inflammation, pain, and scar tissue formation.
Endometriosis can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life, fertility, and mental well-being. Early diagnosis and expert care are essential for effective management.
Common Symptoms of Endometriosis
Severe pelvic pain, especially during menstruation (dysmenorrhea)
Pain during intercourse
Heavy or irregular periods
Chronic lower back or abdominal pain
Painful bowel movements or urination (especially during periods)
Fatigue, bloating, or nausea
Infertility or difficulty conceiving
Causes and Risk Factors
Retrograde menstruation
Hormonal imbalances (especially estrogen dominance)
Genetic predisposition
Immune system disorders
Previous surgeries (which may spread endometrial cells)
How Is Endometriosis Diagnosed?
Detailed medical history and symptom assessment
Pelvic examination
Ultrasound or MRI for visualizing endometriotic cysts (endometriomas)
Diagnostic laparoscopy – a minimally invasive procedure and the gold standard for definitive diagnosis and staging
Treatment Options for Endometriosis
Pain relievers (NSAIDs) for symptom control
Hormonal therapies like oral contraceptives, progestins, GnRH agonists to suppress endometrial growth
Hormonal IUDs (e.g., Mirena)
Laparoscopic excision or ablation of endometriotic tissue
Robotic-assisted endometriosis surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis
Ovarian cyst (endometrioma) removal
Adhesiolysis – removal of scar tissue to relieve pain and improve fertility
Benefits of Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery
Enhanced visibility and precision
Removal of lesions with minimal damage to healthy tissue
Lower risk of recurrence
Minimal scarring
Shorter recovery time
Better outcomes for fertility preservation
