Endometriosis: Expert Care and Management
Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects millions of women worldwide, often causing pain, infertility, and significant disruption to daily life. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) grows outside of the uterus, leading to inflammation, adhesions, and scarring. This misplaced tissue responds to hormonal changes during the the menstruacycle, resulting in pain, heavy periods, and other symptoms. Dr. Rashmi Pandey, a leading gynaecologist and laparoscopic surgeon, provides specialized care for women with endometriosis, offering personalized treatment options to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus (the endometrium) starts to grow outside the uterus, most commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or the pelvic lining. During a woman’s the menstruacycle, this tissue behaves like the uterine lining by thickening, breaking down, and shedding. However, unlike the tissue inside the uterus, this tissue has no way to exit the body, leading to inflammation, pain, and the formation of scar tissue or adhesions. This process can cause pelvic pain, heavy the menstruableeding, and difficulty getting pregnant.
Symptoms of Endometriosis
The symptoms of endometriosis can vary widely from woman to woman. Common signs include:
- Chronic Pelvic Pain: Often described as a deep, dull ache or sharp pain in the lower abdomen, especially during menstruation.
- Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhea): Severe the menstruacramps that are much more intense than usual.
- Pain during Intercourse (Dyspareunia): Discomfort or pain during or after sexual activity.
- Heavy the menstruaBleeding: Excessive bleeding or spotting between periods.
- Infertility: Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility in women.
- Digestive Issues: Nausea, bloating, constipation, or diarrhoea, particularly around menstruation.
Causes and Risk Factors
The exact cause of endometriosis is not fully understood, but several factors may contribute to its development, including:
- Genetics: Women with a family history of endometriosis are at a higher risk.
- Immune System Dysfunction: The immune system may fail to recognize and eliminate the endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus.
- the menstruaFlow Backward: Some studies suggest that the menstruablood may flow backward into the pelvic cavity instead of exiting the body, allowing endometrial cells to implant on pelvic organs.
