Gynecological Conditions
Endometriosis Diagnosis & Treatment in Indirapuram
Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it — on the ovaries, tubes, pelvic lining or bowel — causing inflammation, pain and scarring. It affects about one in ten women and takes, on average, years to diagnose because period pain is so often dismissed as normal. Dr. Bhavya Rathore provides endometriosis care in Indirapuram, from medical management to laparoscopic excision.
Overview
The hallmark is pain that follows the menstrual cycle: severe period pain that worsens over the years, pain during intercourse, painful bowel movements or urination around periods, and chronic pelvic pain. Endometriosis is also found in up to half of women with infertility. Diagnosis is suspected on history and examination, supported by ultrasound (which can show endometriomas and deep disease), and confirmed at laparoscopy.
Symptoms of endometriosis
- Period pain that needs strong painkillers, causes missed work or school, or gets worse each year
- Pain during or after intercourse
- Painful bowel movements or urination, particularly during periods
- Chronic pelvic or lower-back pain
- Heavy or irregular bleeding
- Fatigue, bloating ('endo belly')
- Difficulty conceiving
When to consult a gynecologist
- Period pain that does not respond to simple painkillers
- Pain with intercourse or bowel movements
- An ovarian cyst reported as an endometrioma or 'chocolate cyst' on ultrasound
- Trying to conceive for over six months with painful periods
Evaluation
- Detailed pain and menstrual history, pelvic examination
- Transvaginal ultrasound by an experienced sonographer — can detect endometriomas and deep infiltrating disease
- MRI for suspected deep or bowel involvement
- Diagnostic laparoscopy when the diagnosis is uncertain or treatment is planned
Treatment options
- Pain management with NSAIDs timed to the cycle
- Hormonal suppression — combined pills, progesterone (dienogest), hormonal IUD or GnRH analogues
- Laparoscopic excision of endometriosis and removal of endometriomas, preserving ovarian tissue
- Fertility planning — surgery, ovulation induction, IUI or IVF referral depending on stage and age
- Long-term plan to reduce recurrence after surgery
Endometriosis with Dr. Bhavya Rathore
Why patients in Indirapuram consult Dr. Rathore for endometriosis
Endometriosis surgery is one of the areas where minimal-access training makes the greatest difference. Dr. Rathore's FMAS fellowship and two decades of laparoscopic practice underpin her approach: thorough excision, protection of the ovaries, and a post-surgical plan to manage recurrence and fertility.
Endometriosis consultations are held at the Indirapuram clinic; laparoscopic surgery is performed at Cloudnine Hospital, Indirapuram.
