• Endometriosis And Infertility
• Endometriosis has become more common case of
  infertility in women. SWCIC- one among the
  renowned fertility centers in Hyderabad India
  takes care of that with the support of

• Endometrium
• The endometrium is the tissue that lines the
  inside of the uterus (womb). Endometriosis is a
  condition where endometrial tissue is found
  outside the uterus in the abdomen. Every month
  along these areas of endometrial tissue bleed in
  the abdomen giving rise to inflammation and pain.
• If left untreated theses endometrial patches
  could give rise to infertility (due to blocked
  fallopian tubes) and adhesions. In the ovary they
  cause cysts (blood filled bubbles) called
  chocolate cysts.

• Who gets endometriosis?
• About 1 in 10 women have symptoms due to
  endometriosis which range from mild to severe
  depending on the extent of disease. Symptoms
  develop between the ages of 25-40 and symptoms
  reduce with pregnancy. Sometimes it runs in
  families Estrogen levels fall after the menopause
  thus reducing the incidence of endometriosis Once
  the endometriosis has gone with treatment it may
  recur again in the future.
• Symptoms of endometriosis
• Painful periods. The pain typically begins a few
  days before the period and usually lasts the
  whole of the period and subsides after the
  period.
• Painful intercourse.
• Bleeding in between periods.
• Difficulty becoming pregnant (reduced fertility).
  This may be due to clumps of endometriosis
  blocking the passage of the egg from an ovary to
  the fallopian tube.

• Diagnosis
• Endometriosis is diagnosed either by an
  Ultrasound scan (if chocolate cysts are seen) and
  diagnosis is confirmed by a Diagnostic
  Laparoscopy where the patches of endometriosis
  are not only seen but can be treated at the same
  time.
• Treatment
• If endometriosis is left untreated, it becomes
  worse in about 4 in 10 cases. Endometriosis is
  not a cancerous condition. The main aims of
  treatment are to improve pain and help the couple
  to conceive.
• a. Painkillers for endometriosis
• Paracetamol taken during periods may be all that
  you need if symptoms are mild.
• Anti-inflammatory painkillers such as ibuprofen
  and diclofenac (not all women can take these
  tablets, please consult a doctor before use)

• b. Hormone treatments for endometriosis
• The combined oral contraceptive pill (the pill)
• The intrauterine system (IUS) special coil It
  is not only used as a contraceptive but also
  greatly reduces or even abolishes bleeding of
  periods. Once put in place, it can remain
  effective (for contraception and to ease pain)
  for up to five years.
• GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone) analogues-
  these are given as a course of 3 or 6 injections
  and are quite effective. Use of these injections
  however, is limited in young patients where
  fertility is an issue.
• C. Surgery for endometriosis
• Laparoscopy is commonly used to treat endometrial
  patches in the abdomen and also to remove cysts.
• If your family is complete, and symptoms are
  severe, then hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)
  may be a good option, if all other methods have
  failed
