Fertility Doctor Hyderabad | Endometriosis

The endometrium is the tissue that lines the inside of the uterine cavity.
Endometriosis is a disease state in which some of this tissue has spread elsewhere – such as to the ovaries, or elsewhere in the abdominal cavity.

Background

Endometriosis causes pain in some women and can also cause infertility.

5-10% of all women have endometriosis. Most of these women are not infertile.

30-40% of infertile women have endometriosis.

Diagnosis of endometriosis
The only way to be sure whether a woman has endometriosis is to perform a surgical procedure called laparoscopy that allows us look inside the abdominal cavity with a narrow scope.

Sometimes we strongly suspect that the disease is present based on the woman's history of very painful menstrual cycles, painful intercourse, etc., or based on the physical examination of the woman or ultrasound findings.
