A chronic disease that affects millions of women
Endometriosis is characterized by the abnormal growth of endometrial tissue, which normally lines the inside of the uterus, in other areas of the body, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes or pelvic cavity. This out-of-place growth can generate a wide range of symptoms that significantly affect the quality of life of women, so it is essential to have the support of a Gynecologist in Barcelona, like those who are part of the GINEX Pérez team.
How can endometriosis affect the quality of life of women who suffer from it?
Symptoms of the endometriosis Symptoms vary from woman to woman and may include severe pelvic pain, especially during menstruation, pain during sexual intercourse, irregular or heavy periods, extreme fatigue, and digestive or urinary problems. Endometriosis can also make it difficult to conceive, as many women with the condition experience infertility.
Although the exact cause of endometriosis is not known for certain, genetic, hormonal and immune system factors are thought to play a key role. The most common theory is retrograde menstruation, where menstrual tissue flows backward and adheres to other areas of the pelvis. To diagnose it, the most accurate method is a laparoscopy, a surgical procedure that allows the endometrial tissue to be viewed outside the uterus and which must always be performed by a Gynecologist specialized in Barcelona, just as we do in our medical center.
Can you get pregnant if you have endometriosis?
Treatment for endometriosis aims to relieve symptoms, improve quality of life and preserve fertility when necessary. Options include pain-relieving medications, hormone therapy to reduce tissue growth, and surgery to remove endometrial implants.
