What is Endometriosis and How Does It Affect You?

Endometriosis occurs when the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside of it, affecting other organs such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or even the bladder. This can cause debilitating symptoms such as:

• Severe pelvic pain: Especially during menstruation.
• Heavy or irregular bleeding.
• Pain during intercourse.
• Fertility issues: Endometriosis can make conception difficult for some women.

Although endometriosis can be a chronic condition, with proper treatment, it is possible to reduce pain and improve your quality of life.

Our Approach to Endometriosis Treatment

At our gynecology center in Barcelona, we offer personalized treatment for endometriosis, focused on relieving symptoms and improving your well-being. The approach depends on the severity of your symptoms and your reproductive plans:

• Medical treatments: We use hormonal contraceptives or progestins to manage mild to moderate symptoms by reducing the growth of endometrial tissue.
• Surgical treatments: In severe cases, we offer minimally invasive surgery to remove endometrial tissue from the wrong areas, alleviating pain and improving your chances of pregnancy.
• Comprehensive support: In addition to medical treatment, we offer advice on lifestyle changes that can help you manage symptoms, such as a proper diet and physical exercise.

Accurate Diagnosis for Effective Treatment

Diagnosing endometriosis may not be immediate, but at our obstetrics center in Barcelona, we conduct specific tests to ensure you receive the right treatment. Some of the tests we perform include:

• Gynecological ultrasound: To detect signs of endometriosis, such as ovarian cysts.
• Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive surgery that allows us to confirm the diagnosis and treat the condition at the same time.
• Clinical tests: We include hormonal tests and blood work to rule out other possible causes of your symptoms.
