Understanding Endometriosis
Endometriosis can lead to significant pain and discomfort, often affecting a woman's quality of life. Here’s what you need to know:
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the endometrial lining grows outside the uterus. This growth can lead to inflammation, scar tissue, and adhesions, potentially causing chronic pain and reproductive issues.
Symptoms of Endometriosis
- Pelvic Pain: Often the most common symptom, typically experienced during menstruation.
- Pain during Intercourse: Discomfort or pain during or after sexual activity.
- Pain with Bowel Movements or Urination: Often observed during menstrual periods.
- Excessive Bleeding: Heavy periods (menorrhagia) or bleeding between periods.
- Infertility: Endometriosis is found in 30-40% of women who are infertile.
How is Endometriosis Diagnosed?
Diagnosing endometriosis can be challenging. The Center for Endo Care employs a comprehensive approach that includes:
- Medical History Review: A detailed assessment of symptoms and medical history.
- Physical Examination: A pelvic exam to check for abnormalities.
- Imaging Tests: Ultrasound or MRI scans to identify cysts associated with endometriosis.
- Laparoscopy: A surgical procedure that allows doctors to view the organs and potentially biopsy the tissue.
