Endometriosis diagnosis and laparoscopic treatment at Dhaara Speciality Hospital Yelahanka
Endometriosis — from painful periods to fertility-preserving keyhole surgery

Key Takeaways

  • Endometriosis means uterus-like tissue growing outside the womb — causing painful periods, painful relations and sometimes infertility.
  • It affects roughly 1 in 10 women; average delay to diagnosis is years because 'painful periods' is too often normalised.
  • Diagnosis is by laparoscopy (which can also treat it in the same sitting); ultrasound picks up typical cysts (endometriomas).
  • Treatment is individualised: pain control, hormone suppression, or fertility-sparing laparoscopic excision.

Symptoms That Point to Endometriosis

  • Period pain that stops you attending work/college or needs escalating painkillers
  • Pain during or after intimacy
  • Painful bowel movements or urination, especially around periods
  • Difficulty conceiving, sometimes with no other symptom at all
  • Chronic pelvic pain and fatigue

Fertility and Endometriosis — Both Can Be Protected

The biggest fear women voice is: 'will I lose my chance of motherhood?' The answer at Dhaara: surgery for endometriosis is performed fertility-first — laparoscopic excision of endometriotic tissue and cysts with careful ovarian-preservation technique, avoiding unnecessary removal of healthy ovarian tissue. If pregnancy is your priority, we map out medical vs surgical vs assisted routes with you, honestly and in sequence.

What Is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining (endometrium) grows outside the uterus — most commonly on the ovaries, behind the uterus, on the pelvic lining and around the bowel or bladder. Like the uterine lining, this tissue responds to hormones: it thickens, breaks down and bleeds with every cycle, but the blood has nowhere to go. The result is inflammation, scarring (adhesions) and severe pain.

Endometriosis affects roughly 1 in 10 women of reproductive age and is one of the leading causes of period pain that does not respond to usual painkillers and of difficulty conceiving. At Dhaara Speciality Hospital, Yelahanka, Dr. Prathima Srinivas — Gynecologist and Obstetrician — provides complete endometriosis care, from medical therapy to advanced laparoscopic surgery.

Symptoms

  • Painful periods (dysmenorrhoea) — often severe and worsening over the years
  • Pain during or after intimacy (dyspareunia)
  • Chronic pelvic pain, including between periods
  • Painful bowel movements or urination during periods
  • Heavy or irregular bleeding
  • Difficulty conceiving — endometriosis is found in up to 30–50% of women with infertility
  • Fatigue, bloating and nausea around periods
Key fact: the amount of tissue does not match the amount of pain — a small spot of endometriosis can cause disabling pain, while extensive disease can be quiet. Pain is real; it should be investigated, not dismissed.

Diagnosis

  • Pelvic ultrasound — detects ovarian endometriomas ("chocolate cysts") and deep disease; often the first test
  • MRI pelvis — maps deep infiltrating endometriosis before surgery
  • Diagnostic laparoscopy — the definitive test: a keyhole camera directly visualises and biopsies implants; can be combined with treatment in the same sitting

Treatment Options

Medical management

Pain relief: NSAIDs for cyclical pain.
Hormonal therapy: combined oral contraceptives, progestins (oral, injectable, or the hormonal IUD) and GnRH-analogue courses suppress the disease and protect fertility strategy. Medical therapy controls symptoms but does not remove existing disease.

Surgical management

Laparoscopic excision/ablation of endometriosis: keyhole removal of implants, endometriomas and adhesions. Improves pain and, for moderate disease, improves fertility. At Dhaara Hospital, laparoscopic surgery is performed with early recovery as the goal. About our laparoscopic gynaecology surgery →
Definitive surgery: for severe, family-complete disease — hysterectomy with removal of endometriotic tissue, considered only after thorough counselling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is endometriosis curable?
Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-driven condition. Surgery can remove visible disease and give years of relief, and hormonal therapy prevents recurrence. A combined plan — surgery where needed, medicine to maintain the result — gives most women a normal, pain-free life.
Will I be able to have children?
Many women with endometriosis conceive — naturally or with fertility support. Mild disease may need no intervention; moderate-to-severe disease often benefits from laparoscopic treatment first. Dr. Prathima Srinivas works with each patient on a fertility-preserving plan.
My period pain is unbearable. Is that normal?
Period pain that stops you from attending work or school, or that does not improve with ordinary painkillers, is not "normal" — it warrants a gynaecological evaluation for endometriosis or other treatable causes.

Why did my pain get dismissed for years?

Because period pain is extremely common, endometriosis is invisible on ordinary scans, and its severity doesn't correlate with what surgeons find. If pain disrupts your life monthly, insist on a gynaecological evaluation — that's exactly what we take seriously.

Can endometriosis be cured permanently?

It is a chronic, recurring condition — surgery removes existing disease and hormones suppress new growth, but recurrence over years is possible. A long-term plan (surgery + suppression + fertility timing) keeps it controlled; many women have years of symptom-free life.

Does endometriosis always cause infertility?

No — many women with endometriosis conceive naturally. Risk rises with severity and ovarian involvement. Fertility-sparing surgery improves conception chances; where needed, we time surgery with your pregnancy plans rather than against them.

Is laparoscopy a major surgery?

It is a keyhole (minimally invasive) operation: 3–4 small cuts, 1–2 days in hospital, back to normal activity in 1–2 weeks. Despite small incisions, it is a technically demanding procedure — choose a surgeon who does it regularly.

Can I manage endometriosis with only painkillers?

Painkillers alone treat the symptom while disease can silently progress and affect ovaries and tubes. A combined plan — pain control, hormone therapy and timely surgery when indicated — protects both comfort and fertility.
