What Is Endometriosis?
A disease that occurs when the cells that line the uterus (endometrium) grow outside of the uterus. In addition to causing painful symptoms, endometriosis also increases your risk of infertility. Around 10% of women of reproductive age live with endometriosis. Up to 85% of women with chronic pelvic pain have endometriosis.
What Are The Symptoms Of Endometriosis?
Endometrium
Endometrium forms to line your uterus with every menstrual cycle. It grows on organs and tissue outside of your uterus if you have endometriosis.
Fertily Problems
Endometriosis can cause a decreased ability to become pregnant.
Bowel Problems
Endometriosis can develop on or near your bowel causing inflammation, pain, and abnormal bowel movements.
Pelvic Pain
Endometriosis and subsequent scarring causes pelvic pain and can lead to pain during sex.
Irregular Periods
Endometriosis can make your periods irregular. You may not have a regular 28 day cycle and your period may be heavy and painful.
How Is Endometriosis Pain Treated?
We focus on resolving the issue causing your pain. While you can take pain medication or oral contraceptives to ease your pain and other symptoms, we use minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures to remove the endometrial tissue.
Initial Consultation
Since endometriosis can sometimes be difficult to diagnose and manage, the initial consultation will help our endometriosis experts know how to proceed most effectively using a multidisciplinary and comprehensive treatment approach.
Ultrasound
Although an ultrasound won’t give your gynecologist a sure diagnosis, it’s very useful to identify cysts that can be associated with endometriosis.
Medication
Various over-the-counter medications might be used to help ease painful symptoms while further testing is being carried out. Hormone therapy, although not a cure, has been known to reduce or even eliminate the pain associated with endometriosis. However, when hormonal therapy is stopped the pain returns 100% of the time.
Surgery
Unless you have completed your reproductive plans, our surgeries focus on sparing fertility and removing, from the root, 100% of the endometriosis and scar tissue. We use robotic and laparoscopic techniques.
