FAQs
Endometriosis is a chronic, often painful condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterine cavity. These growths, called lesions, most commonly affect the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the tissue lining the pelvis.
Symptoms vary widely, but the most common include debilitating pelvic pain, especially during periods (dysmenorrhea), chronic non-menstrual pelvic pain, pain during intercourse (dyspareunia), painful bowel movements, and infertility.
While your doctor may suspect endometriosis based on your symptoms and a pelvic exam, the only definitive way to diagnose it is through laparoscopic surgery.
Menopause can cause a variety of physical and emotional symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, mood changes, weight gain, joint pain, and thinning hair. During this minimally invasive procedure, a surgeon can visualize the lesions and take a biopsy for confirmation.
Currently, there is no cure for endometriosis. However, the condition is manageable. Treatment focuses on relieving pain, slowing the growth of the lesions, and managing symptoms through medication (like hormonal therapy), surgery, or a combination of both.
No, it doesn't always cause infertility. While endometriosis is a leading cause of female infertility, many people with the condition can and do conceive naturally. The extent to which it affects fertility depends on the severity and location of the lesions. Fertility specialists can offer options like IVF (In Vitro Fertilization).
Treatment is tailored to the individual. The main options include:
Hormonal Therapies: To suppress the growth of the lesions and reduce menstrual bleeding.
Pain Medications: To manage discomfort.
Laparoscopic Excision Surgery: To surgically remove the endometrial lesions.
A hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) with or without an oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries) can often provide significant relief, but it is not a guaranteed cure. If all endometrial lesions are not removed at the time of surgery, symptoms can potentially return. The decision to have a hysterectomy should be carefully discussed with a specialist.
