Endometrial tissue is most commonly found in the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and the tissue that lines the pelvis. In some rare cases, endometrial tissue is found in other areas of the body, including the lungs.<\/p>\nThe displaced endometrial tissue performs just like the tissues located within your uterus. It thickens as you move through your menstrual cycle, breaking down and bleeding during menstruation. Because the displaced tissue cannot exit the body in the same way as your normal endometrial tissue, it becomes trapped and creates health problems.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>What are the symptoms of endometriosis?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>The most common symptom of endometriosis is a pelvic pain. Additional symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n- Excessive bleeding<\/li>\n
- Painful periods<\/li>\n
- Pain during intercourse<\/li>\n
- Pain during urination or bowel movements<\/li>\n
- Infertility<\/li>\n
- Fatigue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Because these symptoms are also associated with many other health conditions, it\u2019s important to\u00a0discuss\u00a0with your physician if you experience any of these issues.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>How is endometriosis diagnosed?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Diagnosis begins with a discussion of your symptoms and your monthly cycle. Your doctor at My OB\/GYN Specialists then performs a pelvic exam, which allows her to check your pelvic area for abnormalities.<\/p>\nYour doctor may also perform an ultrasound, which uses high-frequency sound waves to develop an image of your internal organs. An ultrasound can be completed using an external device or an internal transducer. The process is quick and painless.<\/p>\n
In some cases, a surgical procedure called a laparoscopy is necessary to give a more in-depth view of your reproductive organs. Laparoscopy requires a very small incision, is done using general anesthesia, and is virtually painless.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>What are some treatment options for endometriosis?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Your treatment options depend on the severity of your symptoms and your plans to become pregnant in the future. Over-the-counter medication can help reduce pain.<\/p>\nSome women find relief through hormone therapy, and use hormonal birth control options to help regulate hormonal balance or make periods stop altogether. Other drugs work by lowering the amount of estrogen your body creates.<\/p>\n
Minimally invasive surgery can remove displaced endometrial tissue, which relieves pressure on nearby organs. These surgeries are done laparoscopically when possible.<\/p>\n
In certain cases, endometriosis doesn\u2019t respond to medical management and surgery becomes the best possible option. A hysterectomy, which is the surgical removal of your uterus, cervix, and possible ovaries if indicated, is an effective treatment option. This approach, however, prevents future pregnancy and should only be considered after other options have failed and fertility is no longer desired.<\/p>\n
