Endometriosis

What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, potentially affecting organs in the pelvis. It can cause pain, inflammation, and in some cases, difficulties achieving pregnancy.

What are the symptoms of endometriosis?

Symptoms may include severe menstrual pain, chronic pelvic pain, pain during sexual intercourse, pain during bowel movements or urination during menstruation, and difficulty achieving pregnancy. Some women may have few or no symptoms.

How is endometriosis treated?

Treatment depends on symptoms, the extent of the disease, and reproductive goals. It may include medications to manage pain or hormonal activity, surgery to treat endometriosis lesions, and fertility treatments when pregnancy is difficult to achieve.

Which specialist treats endometriosis?

Endometriosis can be evaluated by a gynecologist with experience in the condition. When fertility is affected, evaluation by a reproductive medicine or fertility specialist may also be recommended.
