It is termed ” Deep endometriosis ” when it grows in other areas, over the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or behind the uterus. Hence, Infertility affects 30% of women with endometriosis. This article aims to teach you how you would confirm if you or anyone else has endometriosis.

Where does this affect?

The ovaries are the site of endometriosis enlargement, referred to as a chocolate cyst. A chocolate cyst is a condition that prevents menstrual blood from passing through the uterus. As a result, the blood present in the uterus turns brown instead of red.

Always remember, pain and infertility are the two major symptoms of endometriosis. Secondly, in the case of deep endometriosis, the endometrial tissue can also grow behind the uterus (rectum). The other commonly affected organs include the vaginal canal or cervix and the fallopian tubes.

Symptoms of Endometriosis

• Painful period
• Dysmenorrhea is a pain in the lower abdomen that occurs soon before or during menstruation. It could be minor discomfort for some, or it could also be serious for others. (25-35 age women)
• Consult your doctor immediately as they may recommend sonography. Ultrasound sonography gives a detailed picture of the uterus’ condition. It also helps to identify the form of endometriosis and the extent of its spread. It can help confirm the diagnosis of the following conditions:
  1. Chocolate cyst
  2. Deep endometriosis nodule
  3. Abnormalities in the ovaries

Hence, one of the most common diagnostic modalities is ultrasound sonography. It is the most effective test for determining whether you have endometriosis.

What is laparoscopic, and how does it work?

When a couple cannot conceive for a long time, doctors frequently recommend this to rule out underlying medical issues.

Laparoscopy is a procedure for examining and removing endometriosis and scar tissue from the pelvic organs. Endometriosis and scar tissue are believed to obstruct internal organs and make it harder to conceive. Laparoscopic surgery  may be recommended if a chocolate cyst is greater than 4 cm. The chocolate cyst is excised during this procedure to save the ovaries.

Laparoscopy can also help identify the stages of endometriosis, based on which the doctors provide additional instructions and medicine.

Besides, if a patient has isolated endometriosis, they will experience painful sex in this condition. Painful sex is a common symptom of endometriosis that can persist for long or reoccur during or after sex.

Conclusion

If you experience any of the symptoms listed above, you may have endometriosis. To identify this disease, you’ll need to undertake clinical tests and sonography. You should be informed of the facts and not dismiss the issue.

You should go to the doctor and get the proper treatment for your endometriosis. Many patients rely solely on pain relievers for such symptoms, which is entirely incorrect. Correct diagnosis can help you avoid further complications, and you may soon get a piece of good news!
