What Exactly Is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a debilitating medical illness. It occurs whenever tissue (endometrium) that typically lines the uterus starts to grow outside the uterus, most notably on the fallopian tubes, the ovaries, or intestines. These tissue developments, or ‘implants,’ might occur outside the abdomen region less frequently.
Developments vary in size and can produce various symptoms based on their size and their location. As a result, implant development rates and size could differ from person to person and frequently fluctuate with variations in hormone levels. Endometriosis nearly always happens during child-bearing years, with implant development ceasing during menopause.
What Sort Of Symptoms Does Endometriosis Cause?
Mild forms of endometriosis could have no visible symptoms, and some women could be unaware they have the problem till they have problems conceiving. Symptoms in other women may encompass:
- Infertility
- Pelvic discomfort
- Irregular menstrual cycles, comprising spotting between periods
- Blood in the bowels or urine
- Serious cramping before or throughout menstruation
- Low back pain before or during menstruation
- Untypical discomfort with bowel motions
- Intercourse that is unpleasant or results in vaginal bleeding
Most women’s problems worsen amid their periods.
The degree of endometriosis pain is not always a reliable measure of the seriousness of your condition. Mild forms of endometriosis could cause tremendous discomfort for some, whereas extensive endometriosis could cause no discomfort at all for others.
Other conditions that might be confused with endometriosis encompass irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ovarian cysts, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Endometriosis and IBS can develop concurrently, rendering a diagnosis of either more difficult.
If you have any concerns that are suggestive of endometriosis, contact Dr. Bozdogan to review your issue. Endometriosis could be challenging to address, and early detection increases your odds of treatment success.
What Are The Endometriosis Therapies Available?
Endometriosis has no cure as of yet. However, you could adopt some measures to control the condition. Endometriosis care is determined by the seriousness of the symptoms as well as other considerations.
Hormone replacement treatment could help some women reduce discomfort and constrict implants. Your doctor could also contemplate fertility therapies such as IVF and pain management medication.
Most women realize symptom relief from the elimination of the implants. In most situations, surgical elimination could be accomplished with robot-assisted surgery employing the cutting-edge da Vinci surgical robot system or minimally invasive procedures.
Even following elimination, implants could reoccur in some women. Thus, regular medical checkups are essential for keeping symptoms under control, particularly in women who wish to conceive.
