We Are Here to Beat Endometriosis
Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases for women across the globe. The number of women who have endometriosis raises year by year. 200 million women are thought to suffer from the disease. It is not a fatal disease. However, it may cause fatigue, severe pain during the menstrual cycle and sexual intercourse, pain during urination, and infertility. The Endometriosis Excellence Center at our partner hospital is committed to offering the most eloquent surgery treatment and has specialists with internationally recognized expertise in the field. No matter the complexity of the case, they provide a highly experienced team and advanced diagnostic and surgical technologies as required for beating the disease. Patients suffering from endometriosis travel all around the world, but end up seeking surgery and treatment through German Medical Connect.
Endometriosis
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis or “chocolate cyst” is a painful disorder in which the tissue similar to the inner walls of the uterus or “endometrium” grows out of the uterus. It affects the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, and the lines of the pelvis. As it thickens and bleeds, the disorder causes several symptoms, decreasing the life quality of the patient. One out of 10 women having a menstrual cycle suffers from the disease.
Symptoms of Endometriosis
The symptoms of endometriosis vary:
- Chronic fatigue
- Severe pain during the menstrual cycle and sexual intercourse
- Pain during urination
- Disorders regarding bowel movements
- Infertility
- Severe bleeding
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Nausea during menstruation
Endometriosis causes loss of health-life balance for women, as those severe or chronic symptoms affect their daily activities, sexual relationships, and life consent. However, these symptoms may not occur at all making the diagnosis impossible. As a result, an ultrasound or another diagnostic tool is required to diagnose the disease.
Diagnosis
Endometriosis symptoms are similar to other gynecological problems. Accurate diagnosis of endometriosis requires specialized knowledge and specialist with experience such as physical examination and imaging. When the disease cannot be diagnosed, and therefore remains untreated or mistreated, it may lead to other pelvic disorders and even infertility. Early diagnosis by an experienced gynecologist specialist and obstetrician specialized on endometriosis and endometrial cyst surgery saves time and energy for the patient, increasing their trust in the treatment.
Surgical Treatment of Endometriosis
Surgical treatment for endometriosis may be planned when symptoms are severe and/or a medical treatment turns out inadequate. Surgery is the preferred treatment method when there is an anatomical deterioration in the pelvic organs or obstruction of the intestinal and urinary tracts. Generally, the conservative method in which the uterus and ovarian tissue are preserved (surgical removal of only endometrial tissue) is more preferable. The surgery is performed with laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery.
The most important point in surgery is the specialist surgeon’s extensive knowledge and deep experience for a successful outcome. Performing this operation by an inexperienced physician could be concluded in a high complication rate during the operation (bleeding, vascular injury, urinary tract, bowel injury, and fistula) and recurrence of the disease in the early postoperative period. This can also be due to an incomplete surgery. With a successful surgery, a spontaneous pregnancy, a pain-free life, and a low recurrence rate is obtainable.
