Understanding endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This tissue can cause significant endometriosis pain, heavy periods, and fertility difficulties. Over time, it may lead to inflammation, swelling, and the development of scar tissue or painful growths called lesions.

Endometriosis affects several common areas. They include the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the tissues lining the pelvis. In more severe cases, it can spread to areas outside the pelvic region. Symptoms and severity are different for each person. But with the right care and treatment, we can manage endometriosis effectively.

What are the symptoms of endometriosis?

Women with endometriosis experience a wide range of symptoms. Common signs include:

• Bloating or gastrointestinal discomfort
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Difficulty conceiving
• Heavy or irregular periods
• Painful intercourse

If you experience signs of endometriosis, our specialists offer a complete evaluation.
