Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain, heavy periods, and infertility. Early diagnosis improves quality of life and fertility outcomes. Dr. Dipika Palit provides advanced diagnostic and treatment options, including medical therapy and laparoscopic surgery. Management focuses on symptom relief, fertility preservation, and overall reproductive health.

What Is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis occurs when endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, often affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or pelvic lining, causing pain and fertility issues.

Procedure

Diagnosis may involve pelvic ultrasound, MRI, and laparoscopy. Treatment can include pain management, hormonal therapy, and surgical removal of endometrial implants if required.

Why It Happens / Best Age / Treatment

Endometriosis commonly affects women in their 20s and 30s. Hormonal imbalance, genetics, and immune factors contribute. Treatment focuses on symptom control, hormonal regulation, and fertility assistance if needed.
