Endometriosis Surgery

Treatment Options for Endometriosis

Treatment for endometriosis involves treating each person’s condition, symptoms, and fertility goals. So, at Mannat Fertility Centre, we provide medical and surgical options to treat the condition.

Medical Treatments for Endometriosis

Sometimes, medical management can help a patient’s symptoms of endometriosis. Common medical treatments include:

• Hormonal Therapy: Hormonal medications that include birth control pills, hormonal IUDs or GnRH agonists are often used to suppress the menstrual cycle and reduce endometriosis-related pain.
• Pain Relief Medications: Ibuprofen or over-the-counter prescription pain relievers can help with the pain of endometriosis.
• Progestins: These hormones are used to stop menstruation and shrink endometrial growth.

These treatments can help relieve symptoms, but they don’t cure the condition of endometriosis. Surgery is sometimes recommended if symptoms persist or if a patient is having trouble with infertility.

Endometriosis Surgery: What You Need to Know

Women who have severe symptoms, are trying to preserve fertility, or have failed to respond to medical treatment have endometriosis surgery as a key treatment option. Treatment options for endometriosis at Mannat Fertility Centre depend on the degree of severity and location of the endometrial tissue.

Types of Endometriosis Surgery

Laparoscopic Surgery (Minimal Invasive Surgery)

The most common surgical procedure for endometriosis is laparoscopy. However, it is minimally invasive, as only small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert surgical instruments and a camera. The surgeon can then remove or destroy the endometrial growths.

• Pros: Faster recovery time, less scarring and less chance of infection.
• Objective: Removing or destroying the endometrial tissue, adhesions and cysts and improving the possibility of fertility.

Hysterectomy (in Severe Cases)

Hysterectomy means the removal of the uterus. This may be necessary in some cases of endometriosis that are severe and have not been helped by other treatments. A hysterectomy may be an option if the patient no longer wants to preserve her fertility.

Types of Hysterectomy: 

• Total Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus and cervix.
• Subtotal Hysterectomy: The patient is left with the cervix intact.

If endometriosis is doing lots of damage, the ovaries and fallopian tubes (oophorectomy) may also be removed with the hysterectomy.

Excision Surgery

The entire endometriosis tissue is removed through excision surgery instead of simply destroying it. For women who want to preserve their fertility, this technique is beneficial because it eliminates the tissue without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.

Benefits of Endometriosis Surgery

• Surgery helps in pain relief: Many women get relief from pelvic pain after surgery.
• Improved fertility: Endometriosis can reduce fertility, and removing endometriosis can improve the chances of conception in women who are unable to conceive.
• Preventing Further Damage: Surgery can prevent further damage to the reproductive organs, which reduces the risk of complications later on.

Risks and Recovery After Endometriosis Surgery

Surgery is usually safe, but there are some risks, including:

• Risk of infection: Like all surgery, there is the risk of infection.
• Bleeding: Some bleeding during the procedure can occur.
• Injury to Surrounding Organs: When surgery is performed, there is a small chance of injury to the bladder, bowel, or ureters.

The type of procedure performed will determine how long it takes to recover after surgery. The recovery time is usually shorter when the surgery is performed for minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, and most patients can return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Recovery from more extensive surgeries, such as hysterectomy, can take up to 6-8 weeks.
