Theories of Endometriosis

There are multiple theories explaining the development of endometriosis, and we have covered them extensively in previous posts. You can check them out below for more information. However, one key point is that the condition involves tissue similar to the endometrium growing outside the uterus in various locations within the pelvis.

Mapping Endometriosis: Our Advanced Techniques

At Shree IVF & Endometriosis Clinic, we have developed expertise in mapping even the smallest endometrial lesions using advanced tools like high-resolution and 3D ultrasound.

  • Procedure Duration: Mapping endometriosis can be time-consuming, usually taking around 35-40 minutes.
  • Precision: This technique helps identify disease at various locations within the pelvis, enhancing accuracy for treatment planning.

MRI as an Alternative for Mapping Endometriosis

In clinics where expertise for specialized ultrasound isn’t available, an MRI of the pelvis and abdomen is often used.

  • Expert Interpretation: The interpretation of an MRI requires significant expertise, especially to detect deep nodules of endometriosis.
  • Limitations:
    • MRI may miss lesions smaller than 0.7 cm.
    • Unlike ultrasound, MRI is static and lacks dynamic imaging capability, making it less useful in some cases.

Challenges in Diagnosing Nodular Endometriosis

In India, many clinicians may lack adequate training in identifying nodular endometriosis, which leads to a large proportion of the disease being missed. Even with available expertise, tiny lesions can escape detection due to their small size.

From Diagnostic to Operative Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy, once primarily used as a diagnostic tool, has evolved into an operative procedure. In many centers across India, patients are often advised to undergo repeat surgery with an endometriosis specialist following an initial diagnostic laparoscopy. Unfortunately, this can discourage patients from seeking immediate corrective surgery.

Why Expertise Matters in Endometriosis Treatment

Endometriosis requires specialized skills for both diagnosis and surgery. This is why it’s crucial for the condition to be managed by experts who understand its complexities. At our center, we emphasize that all endometriosis surgeries should be performed by specialists who can handle both diagnosis and excision.

Our expert team, led by Dr. Jay Mehta, one of India’s top endometriosis surgeons, handles every endometriosis surgery with precision, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients.

Our Approach: Excisional Surgery for Endometriosis

At our centers of excellence across India, we do not perform diagnostic laparoscopy. Instead, all surgeries are excisional, where the disease is completely removed. 

  • Peritoneal and Small Lesion Diagnosis: We often identify peritoneal endometriosis and small lesions during surgery in areas like the appendix, diaphragm, caecum, and small bowel.
  • Complete Removal: Once the disease is identified, our focus is on excising it, as surgical removal is currently considered the mainstay treatment for endometriosis.

I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Jay's exceptional support throughout my IVF journey. Dr Jay has been like God sent an Angel for us. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Dr. Jay was not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional but also someone who genuinely cared about my well-being.

From my first meeting, he was very clear transparent, and straightforward about my protocol, treatment line, and success rate. After two difficult IVF cycles that failed, I was beginning to lose hope.

However, Dr. Jay’s unwavering encouragement and meticulous care helped me stay positive and focused. Thanks to God and of course to his expertise and dedication, WE FINALLY ACHIEVED SUCCESS!!!!!

Dr Jay Mehta is the best Fertility doctor. I am glad to have IVF done with Jay sir.

This unit is very ethical and very honest at work. In my previous IVF cycle, I did not have embryos in Chennai. I was here and Dr and team had told me not to worry. I was given end to end transparency about my embryos and I was lucky to become pregnant in the 1st cycle here, though I was told that the success rate will be about 25 to 30%.

IVF space is competitive, but these guys don't do any Ads on Google. And still if you search, Dr Jay is ranked no.1. I was extremely impressed with that and I am happy that I took a call to travel to Mumbai from Chennai.

I am thankful to the entire team for handling my case nicely. And May God shower the team with his choicest blessings.

I visited 3 years back for my IVF treatment at that time and also got good treatment with Dr. Jay Mehta … the best part is he would tell me straight away whatever the cause and outcome would be.

This time also I came for Endometriosis treatment n within 3-4 days decided to get operated as there was no looking back as I trust him for his treatment. Thank you Dr once again for the right advice 😊

Dr. Jay Mehta is a result-oriented specialist in his field and the best we could ask for, in a Metro city. His line of treatment for IVF is different from other IVF clinics.

The support provided by doctors and staff as well as all other attending doctors is phenomenal. We are very satisfied and will also highly recommend to others the IVF treatment at Shree IVF Clinic Mumbai.
