Endometriosis Treatment in Gurgaon

By Dr. Vatsal Thakral – Gynaecologist | Gynae Laparoscopic & Hysteroscopic Surgeon | Gynae Oncologist in Gurgaon

Understanding Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus. It commonly affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the pelvic lining. During each menstrual cycle, this tissue behaves like the normal endometrial lining—it thickens, breaks down, and bleeds. However, unlike the normal lining that exits the body, this blood has no place to go. It causes inflammation, pain, scar tissue formation, and sometimes fertility issues.

Endometriosis affects millions of women globally and can significantly impact daily life, work, and relationships. But with early diagnosis and proper care, this condition is highly manageable.

Symptoms of Endometriosis

• Pelvic pain, especially during menstruation
• Pain during or after sexual intercourse
• Excessive menstrual bleeding
• Pain during bowel movements or urination (particularly during periods)
• Fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, or nausea
• Difficulty in getting pregnant

Symptoms vary in intensity. Some women may have mild endometriosis and severe pain, while others may have advanced endometriosis with little or no pain.

Causes and Risk Factors

The exact cause of endometriosis remains unclear. However, several factors may contribute:

• Retrograde menstruation (menstrual blood flows backward through fallopian tubes into the pelvis)
• Genetic predisposition
• Immune system disorders
• Surgical scars (e.g., from C-sections or hysterectomy)

Women with a family history of endometriosis or who started menstruating early are at higher risk.

Treatment Options for Endometriosis

1. Medication Management

For mild to moderate cases, medicines can effectively manage symptoms:

• Pain relievers (NSAIDs) for cramps and pelvic pain
• Hormonal therapies (birth control pills, GnRH agonists, progesterone therapy) to slow endometrial tissue growth

These options are especially helpful for women not trying to conceive.

2. Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopy is both a diagnostic and treatment tool. It allows the surgeon to view and remove endometrial implants, scar tissue, or ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis.

Benefits of laparoscopic surgery with Dr. Vatsal Thakral include:

• Minimal scarring
• Shorter hospital stay
• Quicker recovery
• Better fertility outcomes (in select cases)

3. Fertility Support

For women struggling with infertility due to endometriosis, a combination of surgical and fertility treatments (like IUI or IVF) can improve chances of conception.

4. Lifestyle and Long-term Management

Dietary changes, exercise, and stress management also play a vital role in long-term symptom relief. Dr. Vatsal provides supportive care and long-term follow-up for holistic management.
