Pelvic Endometriosis: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options

Pelvic endometriosis occurs when endometrial-like tissue grows in the pelvic region, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, and bowel. This condition leads to severe menstrual cramps, chronic pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, and digestive issues.

Diagnosis often involves pelvic exams, ultrasounds, and laparoscopic surgery. Treatment depends on symptom severity and may include pain management, hormonal therapies, or excision surgery. A multidisciplinary approach involving gynecologists, pain specialists, and physical therapists can help patients manage their symptoms effectively.
