Endometriosis affects women differently. While some may have little to no symptoms, others experience intense discomfort. Pelvic pain is the most common symptom and can be severe, often occurring during periods or at various times throughout the menstrual cycle.
Other common symptoms of endometriosis include:
1. Painful Periods
2. Pain during sex
3. Chronic pelvic pain
4.Infertility
5. Fatigue
6.Diarrhoea,constipation,or bloating
The exact cause of endometriosis remains unclear, but several theories attempt to explain its development. One widely accepted theory suggests that menstrual blood may flow backward through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity, allowing endometrial cells to implant and grow outside the uterus. Another theory points to immune system dysfunction, where the body fails to identify and eliminate misplaced endometrial tissue.
The treatment of endometriosis depends on the severity of the symptoms and the desire for future fertility. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain, improve quality of life, and improve fertility if desired. The treatment options for endometriosis include:
Medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen may be prescribed to help relieve pelvic pain and menstrual discomfort associated with endometriosis.
In cases of severe pain or fertility concerns, minimally invasive surgery may be recommended to remove as much endometrial tissue as possible and improve symptoms
Hormonal treatments help regulate menstrual cycles and slow the growth of endometrial tissue. Options may include oral contraceptives, progesterone-based therapies, or gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) therapy.
For women with endometriosis facing difficulty conceiving, fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be advised. ART can bypass affected reproductive pathways and improve the chances of pregnancy.
Regular physical activity can help reduce pelvic pain and improve overall health.
A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains may help lower inflammation and ease pain.
