How Is Endometriosis Diagnosed?

• Pelvic sonography can detect signs such as chocolate cysts (endometriomas) in the ovaries.

• In cases where deeper lesions are suspected, MRI may be used.

• There are no conclusive blood tests for endometriosis.

• Laparoscopy remains the gold standard for confirming the diagnosis and simultaneously treating the disease.

Symptoms of Endometriosis

• Painful menstrual cramps

• Pain during intercourse

• Infertility or difficulty conceiving

• Chronic pelvic pain

• Irregular or heavy bleeding

Treatment Approach at iSHA hospital

Treatment is individualized depending on:

• Severity and location of lesions

• Cyst size and symptoms

• Fertility goals

🔹 Laparoscopic Surgery

Dr. Kaushal performs advanced laparoscopic procedures to:

• Cauterize mild endometriotic lesions

• Drain and remove endometriotic cysts (chocolate cysts)

• Peel the cyst wall and cauterize the inner surface

• Release adhesions between ovaries, uterus, or fallopian tubes

• Excise deep infiltrating nodules, including cases involving bowel endometriosis

This surgical approach improves pelvic anatomy and increases the chances of natural conception.

🔹 Hormonal Suppression

After surgery, a 3-month course of hormonal injections may be recommended to temporarily halt periods and suppress disease progression.

Endometriosis & Infertility

Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility. At iSHA hospital:

• We first aim for natural conception after surgery.

• If pregnancy doesn’t occur within 6 months, options like IUI or IVF/ICSI are advised.

If you’re experiencing painful periods or struggling to conceive, it’s time to get evaluated for endometriosis.
