Endometriosis FAQ
Clear answers about symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment
1. What is endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. It causes painful periods, pelvic pain, fatigue, and infertility. Diagnosis is often delayed.
2. Can endometriosis cause infertility?
Yes. Endometriosis can damage ovaries or block fallopian tubes, affecting fertility. Early diagnosis and expert surgery can help.
3. What are the symptoms?
Painful periods, chronic pelvic pain, pain during sex, fatigue, digestive or urinary issues, and infertility are common symptoms.
4. How is it diagnosed?
The gold standard is diagnostic laparoscopy. At Women’s Pelvic Surgery NJ, we use robotic tools for precise diagnosis and treatment.
5. What treatments are available?
Hormonal therapy, excision surgery, lifestyle changes, and nerve-sparing robotic surgery by Dr. Shakiba are key options.
