Endometriosis Treatment in Delhi

Diagnosis of Endometriosis:

• Grade I, II and III of Endometriosis: Laparoscopy

Endometrial blood deposits on various organs in the abdomen are extremely minuscule and microscopic at grades I, II, and III of Endometriosis.

This is why, if the symptoms persist, laparoscopy is suggested immediately after the ultrasound. As the name suggests, it is performed using a laparoscope that is, a tiny catheter-like instrument with a camera and lens on its end.

Once you are under the influence of anesthesia, the doctor makes a minor keyhole in the abdominal areas and injects carbon dioxide gas to lift it above the small intestines and create space for the procedure. Then, the laparoscope is inserted to provide a high-definition view of the internal organs on a digital monitor. This imaging helps provide the exact status of endometriosis, its severity, and grade.

If needed, the laparoscopy test may be combined with the corresponding treatment.

• Grade IV Endometriosis or Endometrioma Cyst: Ultrasound

As the size of endometrial blood tissues enlarges by the grade IV, or in case an endometrioma cyst appears on the ovary, ultrasound can help diagnose the condition.

It is an imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the internal body organs. For this, a trained technician or doctor presses a small handheld device against the area that needs to be examined. Before beginning the procedure, a water-soluble gel is applied to prevent the creation of any air pockets during the procedure. You may be required to fast or be on full bladder before the test. The specifics vary based on the area in which the test is performed. Therefore, please confirm the same directly from your operating doctor.

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.
