Understanding Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs. This tissue behaves like the lining of the uterus, thickening, breaking down, and bleeding with each menstrual cycle. However, because it has no way to exit the body like menstrual blood, it becomes trapped, leading to inflammation, scar tissue formation, and pain.

The symptoms of endometriosis can vary widely from person to person but may include:

Pelvic pain, ranging from mild to severe
Painful periods (dysmenorrhea)
Pain during or after sex (dyspareunia)
Infertility or difficulty getting pregnant
Heavy menstrual bleeding
Fatigue
Gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhoea, constipation, or bloating

Comprehensive Care Approach

Expert Diagnosis: Our team of experienced gynaecologists specialises in diagnosing endometriosis using advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound, MRI, and laparoscopy. We take the time to listen to your concerns, perform a thorough evaluation, and develop a personalised diagnostic plan to confirm the presence of endometriosis and assess its severity.

Personalised Treatment Plans: Once a diagnosis is confirmed, we work closely with each patient to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to their specific needs and goals. Treatment options may include:

Medications: Pain relievers, hormonal therapies, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists to manage pain and slow the growth of endometrial tissue.
Surgery: Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery to remove endometrial implants, scar tissue, and adhesions, providing both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits.
Lifestyle Modifications: Nutritional counselling, stress management techniques, and exercise programs to support overall health and well-being.

Pain Management: We understand that managing pain is a critical aspect of living with endometriosis. Our team includes pain management specialists who work closely with patients to develop personalised pain management strategies, incorporating a combination of medications, physical therapy, acupuncture, and other complementary therapies to alleviate pain and improve quality of life.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support: Endometriosis is a chronic condition that requires long-term management and support. Our team provides ongoing monitoring and follow-up care to track the progression of the disease, adjust treatment plans as needed, and ensure that patients receive the comprehensive care and support they need to live their best lives.

Frequently asked Questions

How is endometriosis diagnosed?

Endometriosis is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, pelvic examination, imaging tests (such as ultrasound or MRI), and laparoscopic surgery, which allows for direct visualization and biopsy of endometrial tissue.
Is endometriosis curable?

Currently, there is no cure for endometriosis, but there are various treatment options available to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Treatment may include medications, surgery, lifestyle modifications, and complementary therapies.
Can endometriosis affect fertility?

Endometriosis can affect fertility in some women, but not all. The extent to which endometriosis impacts fertility depends on factors such as the severity of the disease, the location of endometrial implants, and individual factors such as age and ovarian reserve. However, many women with endometriosis can conceive with appropriate treatment and medical assistance.
Is there a link between endometriosis and other health conditions?

Endometriosis has been associated with certain other health conditions, including autoimmune disorders, allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and certain types of cancer. However, more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between endometriosis and these conditions.
