Understanding Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a painful gynaecological condition in which the tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus. This abnormal growth commonly affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining, leading to severe pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and fertility issues.
At Gynae Care Kolkata, Dr. Sujata Datta, a renowned gynaecologist and robotic surgeon in Kolkata, provides cutting-edge treatment options, including minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery, to help women manage and overcome endometriosis.
Common Causes of Endometriosis
While the exact cause of endometriosis is unclear, several factors may contribute to its development:
- Retrograde Menstruation:Menstrual blood flows back into the pelvic cavity instead of exiting the body.
- Hormonal Imbalance:Estrogen dominance may encourage tissue growth.
- Genetic Factors:A family history of endometriosis increases the risk.
- Immune System Disorders:A weakened immune system may fail to remove misplaced endometrial tissue.
- Surgical Scars:Post-surgical adhesions from procedures like C-sections may lead to tissue displacement.
Symptoms of Endometriosis
Endometriosis symptoms can vary in severity, and some women may not experience any symptoms at all. Common signs include:
- Severe pelvic pain, especially during menstruation
- Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
- Pain during intercourse
- Chronic lower back and abdominal pain
- Painful bowel movements or urination
- Infertility or difficulty conceiving
- Fatigue, bloating, or nausea
