About Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining. Diagnosis and treatment are typically performed by an Obstetrician and Gynecologist. The primary diagnostic and therapeutic procedure is laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgery. During this procedure, the surgeon inserts a small camera through a tiny abdominal incision to visualize and confirm the presence of endometrial implants, adhesions, or cysts (endometriomas). The goal is to excise or ablate (destroy) these lesions to relieve debilitating symptoms like chronic pelvic pain, painful periods (dysmenorrhea), and infertility, thereby improving the patient's quality of life and reproductive potential.

Key Highlights

    Provides definitive diagnosis through direct visualization of pelvic organs.Offers simultaneous treatment by removing or destroying endometrial implants and scar tissue.Minimally invasive approach (laparoscopy) leads to smaller scars, less pain, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.Can significantly reduce chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, and pain during intercourse.May improve fertility outcomes by restoring normal pelvic anatomy and removing obstacles to conception.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Chronic pelvic pain that is severe or unresponsive to medication.
  • Severe dysmenorrhea (painful periods) that interferes with daily activities.
  • Pain during or after sexual intercourse (dyspareunia).
  • Infertility evaluation where endometriosis is a suspected cause.
  • Presence of an ovarian cyst suspected to be an endometrioma.
  • Gastrointestinal or urinary symptoms (e.g., painful bowel movements, bloating) that coincide with the menstrual cycle.
  • Findings suggestive of endometriosis on ultrasound or MRI.

How to prepare

  • Complete pre-operative medical evaluation, including blood tests and possibly an ECG.
  • Detailed discussion with the surgeon about the procedure's goals, risks, and alternatives.
  • Fasting for 6-8 hours before the surgery as instructed.
  • Adjustment or temporary cessation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the doctor.
  • Arranging for transportation and post-operative support at home for the initial recovery days.
  • Bowel preparation may sometimes be required to improve surgical visibility.

Risks & possible complications

  • General risks of anesthesia and surgery.
  • Bleeding, infection, or injury to nearby organs (bladder, intestines, blood vessels, ureters).
  • Formation of new scar tissue (adhesions) after surgery.
  • Rare risk of nerve damage or chronic post-surgical pain.
  • Potential for incomplete removal of endometriosis, leading to symptom recurrence.
  • In very rare cases, conversion to an open abdominal procedure (laparotomy) may be necessary.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Hospital stay is typically short, often same-day discharge or 1-night observation.
  • Manage post-operative pain with prescribed medications.
  • Rest for the first few days, with gradual increase in light activity. Avoid heavy lifting for 2-4 weeks.
  • Care for small incision sites to prevent infection.
  • Expect some shoulder tip pain from the gas used in laparoscopy; it resolves in a day or two.
  • Follow-up appointment with the gynecologist to discuss surgical findings and a long-term management plan, which may include hormonal therapy to suppress recurrence.
  • Return to normal activities and work usually within 1-2 weeks, depending on the job's physical demands.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks
