Endometriosis Treatment
Endometriosis Doctor in Tricity Management and Treatment by Dr. Sarita Malik (Obs and Gyne)
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a chronic medical condition in women, characterised by tissue similar to the uterine lining (endometrium) growing outside the uterus. It may involve the ovaries, fallopian tubes, the outer surface of the uterus and other pelvic organs.
The condition can significantly affect quality of life because symptoms may include severe menstrual pain, chronic pelvic discomfort, heavy bleeding, pain during intercourse and fertility-related concerns.
Evaluation and treatment are planned according to symptoms, overall health and future reproductive goals.

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
Infertility or Difficulty Conceiving
Bloating & Digestive Issues
Causes of Endometriosis
The exact cause of endometriosis is not fully understood. Several theories and possible contributing factors exist.
How Does Endometriosis Affect the Body?
During each menstrual cycle, endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus may respond to hormonal changes. This can contribute to inflammation and other changes within the pelvis.
Nearby pelvic tissues may become irritated and inflamed.
Fibrous bands may cause pelvic tissues or organs to become attached to one another.
Endometriosis involving the ovaries may be associated with cysts known as endometriomas.
Can You Lead a Normal Life With Endometriosis?
With proper evaluation, symptom management and an individualised care plan, many women are able to manage the condition and continue their daily activities.
Who May Be at Higher Risk?
Endometriosis can affect women of different ages, but certain menstrual, reproductive and family-history factors may increase risk.
Starting menstruation at an early age
Short menstrual cycles, such as less than 27 days
Heavy or prolonged menstrual periods
Family history of endometriosis
Delayed pregnancy or infertility concerns
Why Early Diagnosis is Important
Endometriosis symptoms may overlap with other gynaecological or digestive conditions. Timely evaluation may help identify the cause of symptoms, guide treatment and reduce the risk of persistent pain or fertility-related complications.

Laparoscopic or other minimally invasive surgical approaches may be considered to remove or treat endometriosis lesions in suitable patients.
