About endometriosis and treatmentImagine being unable to function normally each day because of extreme pain.
You can’t enjoy music, read a book, or go to the cinema with friends. The pain is so unbearable that it keeps you from working.
This is what living with endometriosis can look like.
Endometrial cells located outside the uterus—such as on the ovaries, bladder, intestines, peritoneum, pelvic nerves, liver, stomach, diaphragm, or even the brain—respond to hormonal cycles, proliferating and triggering local inflammation. As a result, bleeding lesions form in these ectopic sites.
There are several theories about the development of endometriosis, including retrograde menstruation (where menstrual blood flows backward through the fallopian tubes), the metaplasia theory (suggesting that certain cells can transform into endometrial-like cells), and the induction theory (proposing that blood or lymphatic cells can convert into endometrial tissue).
Current research into the genetic basis of endometriosis offers promising insights, but no single theory fully explains the disease’s complex origin.
Competencies
Advantages of diagnostics
The only surgical method for treating endometriosis currently recommended by experts is minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery—commonly known as “keyhole” surgery. The most critical procedure is the first one, often referred to as “First Shot Surgery.”
If this initial operation is performed incorrectly—by non-expert surgeons or in centers that lack specialization in the complete excision of at least 95% of visible endometrial lesions and associated tumors—it can have long-lasting negative consequences for the patient.
Improperly conducted procedures significantly increase the risk of disease recurrence and may affect the patient’s quality of life for years to come.
