What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a condition that occurs outside the lining of the uterus (endometrium), usually in or around the pelvic cavity. This can lead to pain and other symptoms as the inner lining of the uterus sheds during the menstrual cycle, as well as a similar shedding of the outer tissues.

Symptoms of Endometriosis

1. Pelvic pain can increase, especially during menstrual periods.
2. Pain during sexual intercourse.
3. Pain when urinating or defecating.
4. Problems with the menstrual cycle, especially irregular or excessive bleeding.
5. Infertility (infertility) problems.

Diagnosis of Endometriosis

Endometriosis is usually diagnosed through gynecological examination, ultrasonography and laparoscopy. Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure and allows the doctor to examine the pelvic area and confirm endometriosis lesions.

Endometriosis Treatment Options

1. Pain Relieving Drugs: Anti-inflammatory drugs or painkillers can be used to relieve pain.
2. Hormonal Therapies: Hormonal treatments can relieve the symptoms of endometriosis by regulating the menstrual cycle.
3. Laparoscopic Surgery: Surgical removal of endometriosis lesions can reduce pain and improve fertility.
4. Uterine or ovarian surgery: In severe cases of endometriosis, surgical removal of the uterus or ovaries may be necessary.
