Endometriosis of Ovary

Endometriosis of the ovary, also known as endometriotic ovarian cysts or endometriomas, is a condition where endometrial-like tissue grows on the ovaries, forming cysts. This can cause pain, irregular menstruation, fertility challenges, and other symptoms that impact a woman’s quality of life. Our expert team offers specialized care, including advanced surgical and medical treatments, to manage endometriosis effectively.

What is Endometriosis of the Ovary?

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it, often on the ovaries. This can lead to the development of chocolate cysts (endometriomas) filled with old blood.

Symptoms:

  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Painful periods (dysmenorrhea)
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Fertility problems
  • Fatigue and bloating

Laparoscopic Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery is the gold standard for diagnosing and treating ovarian endometriosis. The procedure involves removing endometriotic cysts while preserving ovarian tissue and function.

Benefits :

  • Relieves pain and improves fertility outcomes
  • Shorter recovery time and minimal scarring
  • Precise removal of endometrial tissue using advanced techniques

Open Surgery

In severe or recurrent cases, open surgery may be required to address deep endometriosis or extensive pelvic scarring. This approach ensures thorough removal of cysts and adhesions.
