Endometriosis – Symptoms, causes snd Treatment

Endometriosis is a painful condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining. Dr. Kanchi Khurana, an expert in reproductive health, provides specialized diagnosis and treatment for women suffering from endometriosis.

Symptoms of Endometriosis

Severe menstrual cramps
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Pain during intercourse
• Heavy or irregular periods
• Infertility
• Bloating, nausea, or digestive issues

Causes of Endometriosis

Retrograde Menstruation: Menstrual blood flows back into the pelvis instead of leaving the body.
• Hormonal Imbalance: Estrogen dominance may contribute to tissue growth.
• Genetic Factors: Family history increases the risk.
• Immune System Disorders: The body may fail to eliminate misplaced tissue.

Diagnosis & Tests

Pelvic Examination – Checks for abnormalities in the pelvic region.
• Ultrasound & MRI – Helps detect cysts or abnormal tissue growth.
• Laparoscopy – A minimally invasive procedure to confirm endometriosis and assess severity.

Treatment Options

Pain Management: Anti-inflammatory medications to relieve pain.
• Hormonal Therapy: Birth control pills, progestins, or GnRH agonists to regulate hormones.
• Surgical Treatment: Laparoscopic surgery to remove endometrial tissue and restore fertility.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Healthy diet, exercise, and stress management to ease symptoms.

Endometriosis & Fertility

Many women with endometriosis struggle with infertility due to adhesions and blockages in the fallopian tubes. However, with expert treatment, conception is possible. Options include:
• Ovulation Induction: Medications to stimulate ovulation.
• Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Enhances the chances of fertilization.
• In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Highly effective for severe cases where natural conception is difficult.
