Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a disorder where the equivalent of the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) is developed outside the uterine cavity. It may result in chronic pelvic pain, heavy or painful periods, and may, in some cases, result in Inability to get pregnant (infertility). The effects may be disabling, and they may severely affect the quality of life of a woman. Diagnosing and dealing with this condition correctly and creating a personalised management plan are necessary.

What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis happens when the implantation of the endometrial-like tissue and its subsequent proliferation happen on any other organ of the pelvic cavity, including the fallopian tubes, the ovaries, and the outer uterine surface. This tissue adjusts to changes in the hormones during the menstrual cycle, thickening and bleeding, which may lead to the emergence of inflammation, pain, scar tissue and adhesions.

• Painful periods (dysmenorrhea) can be harsh and become more severe.
• Persistent pain in the pelvic area, usually with backache.
• Suffering during or after intercourse.
