Endometriosis Treatment in Yelahanka, Bangalore
Understanding Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb — on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or pelvic lining. This abnormal growth causes inflammation, pain, and can affect fertility. Though it cannot be cured, effective treatments manage symptoms and restore quality of life.
Common Symptoms
- Severe pelvic pain, especially during menstruation
- Pain during intercourse or bowel movements
- Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
- Infertility or difficulty conceiving
- Chronic fatigue and digestive discomfort
Diagnosis
Diagnosis involves a detailed symptom review, pelvic exam, and imaging (ultrasound or MRI). Laparoscopy — a minimally invasive procedure — provides definitive confirmation by directly visualising pelvic organs. Early detection allows a tailored treatment plan.
Treatment Options
Medical management: Hormonal therapies (birth control pills, GnRH agonists) regulate cycles and reduce pain. Pain relief medications address acute symptoms.
Laparoscopic surgery: Minimally invasive removal of endometriotic lesions, scar tissue, and adhesions. Faster recovery and improved fertility outcomes compared to open surgery.
