FAQs
While the exact cause of endometriosis is still debated, and there are no definitive predictors of who will develop the condition, certain risk factors have been associated with adolescent endometriosis.
What are the most common symptoms of endometriosis?
The most common symptoms are severe menstrual cramps, chronic pelvic pain, and pain during intercourse, bowel movements, or urination. Many people also experience heavy bleeding, significant bloating (known as “endo belly”), chronic fatigue, and infertility.
Why should I see an endometriosis specialist instead of my regular GYN?
While a regular GYN can manage mild symptoms, they often lack the advanced training for complex endometriosis surgery, one of the most difficult gynecological procedures. An endometriosis specialist performs meticulous excision surgery to remove the disease at its root, offering a more effective, long-term solution than the ablation procedure commonly performed by generalists.
What is adenomyosis and how is it related to endometriosis?
Adenomyosis is a condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, causing it to thicken and enlarge. It’s often called the “sister disease” to endometriosis because they share similar symptoms, like heavy, painful periods, and frequently coexist in the same patient. The key difference is that adenomyosis is contained within the uterus, while endometriosis is found outside of it.
