Endometriosis

Understanding Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a painful and often misunderstood condition that affects millions of women worldwide. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, leading to pain, inflammation, and sometimes infertility. At Phular IVF Hospital, we provide advanced diagnosis and fertility solutions for women struggling with endometriosis.

What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis occurs when endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus — on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic wall, bladder, or intestines. Each month, this tissue thickens, breaks down, and bleeds during menstruation, but because it has no way to exit the body, it causes inflammation, scarring, and severe pain.

Common Symptoms of Endometriosis

  • Severe menstrual cramps and pelvic pain
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Pain during urination or bowel movements (especially during periods)
  • Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
  • Fatigue, bloating, and nausea
  • Difficulty conceiving (infertility)

Causes and Risk Factors

  • Retrograde menstruation: Menstrual blood flows backward into the pelvic cavity.
  • Genetic factors: Family history increases the risk.
  • Immune system dysfunction: Body fails to recognize misplaced tissue.
  • Hormonal imbalance: High estrogen levels may stimulate abnormal tissue growth.
  • Previous pelvic surgery: May cause tissue displacement.

How Endometriosis Affects Fertility

Endometriosis can block or damage fallopian tubes, prevent eggs from reaching the uterus, or interfere with ovulation and implantation. In some cases, the inflammation caused by endometriosis can affect egg quality and embryo development.

However, with the help of advanced fertility treatments like IUI and IVF at Phular IVF Centre, many women with endometriosis have successfully conceived and achieved healthy pregnancies.

Diagnosis of Endometriosis

  • Pelvic examination: To detect cysts or tender areas.
  • Ultrasound or MRI: To visualize endometriotic cysts (endometriomas).
  • Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive surgical procedure to confirm diagnosis and assess severity.
  • Blood test (CA-125): Sometimes used to support diagnosis.

Treatment Options for Endometriosis

  • Pain management: NSAIDs and hormonal therapy to control pain and inflammation.
  • Hormonal therapy: Birth control pills, GnRH agonists, or progestins to suppress endometrial growth.
  • Minimally invasive surgery: Laparoscopic removal of endometrial tissue to relieve pain and improve fertility.
  • Fertility treatments: IUI or IVF for couples struggling to conceive naturally.
  • Holistic care: Diet, lifestyle modification, and stress management to support overall wellness.

Lifestyle Tips for Women with Endometriosis

  • Eat anti-inflammatory foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, omega-3 fatty acids).
  • Avoid processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol.
  • Exercise regularly to reduce pain and boost mood.
  • Practice yoga, meditation, or breathing exercises to ease stress.
  • Maintain a healthy body weight and sleep routine.

Complications of Untreated Endometriosis

  • Chronic pelvic pain and adhesions (scar tissue)
  • Ovarian cysts (endometriomas)
  • Infertility and miscarriage
  • Increased risk of ovarian cancer (rarely)
  • Emotional distress, depression, or anxiety
