What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a chronic fertility condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing pain, inflammation, and sometimes infertility. This misplaced tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other areas within the pelvis. It responds to the menstrual cycle in the same way as the lining of the uterus, leading to painful periods and other symptoms.
Symptoms of Endometriosis
- Painful periods (dysmenorrhea)
- Pain during intercourse
- Pain with bowel movements or urination
- Excessive bleeding
- Infertility
- Fatigue, diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, or nausea, especially during menstrual periods
Endometriosis Diagnosis and Treatment
Dr. Marren uses a combination of patient history, physical exams, and advanced diagnostic techniques, including ultrasound and laparoscopy, to accurately diagnose endometriosis. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the symptoms and whether you’re trying to conceive. They may include medication, hormone therapy, and surgical options to remove or reduce the endometrial tissue.
