Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterus lining (endometrium) begins to grow outside the uterus. These growths are commonly found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic walls, and surrounding organs. Because this tissue behaves like the endometrium, it reacts to monthly hormonal changes — leading to inflammation, adhesions, pain, and sometimes fertility challenges.
Endometriosis affects nearly 1 in 10 women of reproductive age and remains one of the leading causes of pelvic pain and difficulty conceiving. The exact cause is still unknown, but several factors such as genetics, hormonal imbalance, immune dysfunction, and environmental triggers are believed to play a role.
Symptoms can range from mild to severe and often vary from one woman to another. The most common signs include:
Painful menstrual periods
Pain during intercourse
Chronic pelvic pain
Painful urination or bowel movements, especially during periods
Heavy bleeding or irregular cycles
Fatigue, bloating, diarrhea, or nausea during menstruation
Difficulty conceiving
It is also possible to have endometriosis with no noticeable symptoms until fertility problems arise.
Endometriosis is a manageable condition, especially when diagnosed early and treated appropriately. Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms, the extent of tissue growth, and future fertility goals.
Over-the-counter medications like NSAIDs can help reduce inflammation and menstrual pain.
Birth control pills, hormonal IUDs, GnRH agonists, and other hormone-regulating medications can slow or stop the growth of endometrial tissue.
This minimally invasive surgery is used to diagnose and remove endometrial lesions, scar tissue, and adhesions. It often improves pain and enhances fertility outcomes.
For women experiencing difficulty conceiving, assisted reproductive options such as IUI or IVF can significantly increase the chances of pregnancy.
Diet modifications, physiotherapy, stress reduction, and pelvic floor therapy can help manage chronic pain and improve overall well-being.
Women experiencing symptoms or fertility issues should consult a specialist to determine the most suitable treatment plan.

A thorough evaluation involving medical history, physical exams, and diagnostic tests to identify causes of infertility in both partners. This helps tailor personalized treatment plans to improve chances of conception
Medical treatment using fertility drugs to stimulate the ovaries to release eggs regularly, especially helpful for women with irregular or absent ovulation. It is often combined with timed intercourse or intrauterine insemination to enhance pregnancy chances
Minimally invasive surgical procedures used to diagnose and treat conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, polyps, and adhesions that may impair fertility. These surgeries help restore normal reproductive anatomy and improve fertility outcomes
Comprehensive assessment including semen analysis, hormone testing, and sometimes genetic screening to identify issues affecting sperm quality, quantity, or function. Advanced techniques like sperm DNA fragmentation tests and micro-TESE may be used for diagnosis and treatment planning
In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves fertilizing eggs with sperm in a lab, while intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) injects a single sperm directly into an egg, often used for severe male infertility. The resulting embryos are cultured and then transferred to the uterus to achieve pregnancy
A procedure where previously frozen embryos from an IVF cycle are thawed and transferred into the uterus to establish pregnancy. This allows multiple attempts at pregnancy without undergoing full ovarian stimulation again

Endometriosis is a condition where uterine-like tissue grows outside the uterus. It is diagnosed through pelvic examination, ultrasound, and in some cases laparoscopy.
Whenever possible, we create an integrated appointment plan, so that you can meet with the multiple subspecialists involved in your case. Some patients come here for a second opinion and go back to their obstetrician. Other patients transfer their care to Columbia as their delivery date approaches to make sure their baby immediately receives the necessary specialized pediatric care after birth.
