Endometriosis is a condition wherein the tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside of it, normally on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or pelvis area. It results in pain and may even hinder your fertility, but does not necessarily prevent pregnancy from occurring. There are three primary ways for endometriosis treatment in-jaipur: Pain Management; Laparoscopic Surgery; In Vitro Fertilization.
Painful periods which do not improve with normal pain medication; or difficulty conceiving despite attempts at conception – these may indicate an endometriosis problem. Endometriosis is one of the most common but frequently undiagnosed causes of pelvic pain and infertility in women.
Dr. Namita Kotia (MBBS, MS – Obstetrics & Gynaecology), IVF Specialist and Director of Aastha Fertility Care, Jaipur, sees this condition often in her practice.
“There are numerous women with endometriosis who remain undiagnosed due to lack of awareness and incorrect diagnosis. The earlier the condition is detected, the greater the treatment choices are, both for pain and infertility issues.” – Dr. Namita Kotia, IVF Specialist & Director, Aastha Fertility Care, Jaipur
According to the World Health Organization, reports that endometriosis affects nearly 10 percent of women in their reproductive years. This means that it affects around 1 in 10 women..
Common Symptoms of Endometriosis
Symptoms differ from woman to woman, and some women may not experience any symptoms at all. Common symptoms include:
- Severe pain during periods, often worse than typical period cramps
- Pain during sex
- Pain during bowel movements or urination, especially during periods
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Chronic pelvic pain that does not go away after your period ends
- Difficulty getting pregnant
If you are experiencing several of these symptoms at once, especially progressive pain, it’s worth to get diagnosed as soon as possible.
What Causes Endometriosis?
While the exact cause of endometriosis is not known, there are some factors which increase the likelihood of developing it, namely family history of the disease, young age of onset of menstruation, absence of pregnancies, and some immune system factors which may hinder the body’s ability to remove extra endometrial cells.
It is important to note that just because someone suffers from these risk factors does not necessarily mean she will develop endometriosis. In addition, there are many people who suffer from endometriosis without any of these risk factors present. Therefore, symptoms rather than risk factors become more important in deciding to see a doctor.
Stages of Endometriosis
Generally speaking, endometriosis is divided into 4 stages from mild to severe based on the amount and depth of tissue growth. The minimal and mild stages include small lesions and scars, whereas moderate and severe stages involve deeper implants, larger scars, and endometriomas (ovarian cysts).

However, the stage of disease does not correlate with pain severity, since some people with minimal disease may suffer from very severe pain while those with severe disease may have hardly any symptoms at all.
How Endometriosis Affects Fertility
Endometriosis is one of the leading factors of female infertility. As described by ASRM in its patient resource on endometriosis and infertility, 30-50 percent of infertile patients suffer from endometriosis.
There are several mechanisms of how endometriosis can lead to infertility. This abnormal tissue growth can lead to scar tissue formation which blocks or distorts the fallopian tubes, see our blog on fallopian tube blockage for more details. Additionally, this condition can create cysts on the ovaries called endometriomas and inflammation that interferes with the process of fertilization and implantation of the embryo. Endometriosis does not mean that you cannot conceive, it just requires additional help that will work better if provided early enough. Finally, endometriosis affects the uterine lining directly that affects the process of embryo implantation. Our blog on the role of the endometrium in reproductive health explains this connection in more detail.
How Endometriosis Is Diagnosed at Aastha Fertility Care
Diagnosis usually starts with a detailed conversation about your symptoms and cycle history, followed by:
- Transvaginal sonography (TVS) – an ultrasound that can pick up ovarian cysts and some signs of endometriosis. Read more about transvaginal sonography here.
- Pelvic examination – to check for tenderness, masses, or restricted movement in the pelvic organs
- Laparoscopy, when needed – a minor surgical procedure that lets the doctor see the pelvic organs directly and confirm the diagnosis, often treating some of the tissue at the same time
Newer clinical guidance from ACOG now supports diagnosing endometriosis based on symptoms and examination alone in many cases, without always needing surgery first. This means Endometriosis Treatment in Jaipur can often start sooner.
Endometriosis Treatment Options in Jaipur
The management of the disorder depends on individual symptoms, the stage of endometriosis, and whether the patient is actively trying to conceive at the moment.
1. Pain Management
In case of mild endometriosis, patients receive pain relievers and hormonal therapy including oral contraceptives that reduce the growth of endometrial tissue and relieve symptoms.
2. Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopy is usually advised to treat moderate to severe endometriosis as the procedure helps remove or decrease the endometrial tissue. If you plan to conceive, doctors recommend either to attempt natural conception or use IVF in a certain period after the procedure since the impact of laparoscopy on fertility is temporary.
3. IVF for Endometriosis-Related Infertility
In case natural conception does not occur following the procedure, or the endometriosis is more developed, IVF or ICSI becomes necessary as the procedure allows bypassing most obstacles created by the disorder including the blockage of fallopian tubes and pelvic adhesions.
4. Fertility Preservation
In case of younger females who have been diagnosed with endometriosis but do not plan to conceive at the moment, egg or embryo freezing can be considered.
What to Expect at Your First Consultation
The first appointment will include an exhaustive account of your menstruation and pain history, a pelvic examination and ultrasound, identification of your primary objective – whether you require pain management or fertility treatment, and a phased plan that commences with the most conservative treatment modality, and progresses to surgery or IVF if necessary.
Living with Endometriosis
There are a few additional things that you can do to keep your daily symptoms under control: record your pain levels and patterns, some light physical activity and stretching, heat treatment for menstrual cramps, and regular appointments, even if your symptoms appear well-controlled, because endometriosis may fluctuate in severity and nature.
