Endometriosis Treatment in Bangalore

Endometriosis Surgery preparation

Laparoscopic Ablation/LAPEX/ Ovarian Cystectomy/LAPEX and Hysterectomy:

Here is a list of common guidelines for surgery preparation for endometriosis-

• Confirm all your current medications, supplements, and herbal potions to your doctor. Certain medicines, such as ibuprofen, insulin, or blood thinners may be required to halt for a few days. This is because they can hamper the surgery and risk excessive bleeding during the procedure.
• No surgery can be performed with imbalanced BP or sugar levels. This is why they must first be brought under control to proceed with the surgical treatment.
• Do not eat or drink anything at least 4-6 hours before the surgery. Else, it may cause anesthesia-related complications.

Fertility Treatments:

• Begin fertility treatments as soon as endometriosis is under considerable control.
• Quit smoking, drinking, or use of recreational drugs at least four weeks before the treatment.
• Shift to a balanced diet and include at least 30 minutes of light workout every day.

Difference between Endometriosis and Adenomyosis

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are both gynaecological conditions involving the uterine lining, but they are distinct in their nature, location, and impact on the body. While they may share some similar symptoms, such as pelvic pain and heavy periods, their underlying causes and treatment approaches differ.

Endometriosis: occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, or the pelvic lining. This misplaced tissue behaves like normal endometrial tissue, thickening, breaking down, and bleeding with each menstrual cycle. However, because it has no way to exit the body, it causes inflammation, pain, and sometimes the formation of scar tissue or adhesions. Endometriosis treatments commonly include pain management, hormonal therapy to reduce or suppress menstruation, and in more severe cases, laparoscopic surgery to remove or destroy the endometrial-like tissue.

Adenomyosis, on the other hand, is a condition where endometrial tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. This can cause the uterus to become enlarged and tender, and often leads to painful, heavy periods and bloating.

Unlike endometriosis, the tissue in adenomyosis remains confined within the uterus. Adenomyosis treatment may include anti-inflammatory medications, hormonal therapies such as the use of IUDs or contraceptives, and in more severe or persistent cases, a hysterectomy may be recommended.

Although both conditions can affect a woman’s quality of life and fertility, they require different diagnostic approaches and management strategies. If you suspect you may have symptoms of either condition, it’s important to consult a gynaecologist who can provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate endometriosis and adenomyosis treatments tailored to your needs.
