Scar Endometriosis Treatment in Navi Mumbai | Dr. Amrita Kesari
What is Scar Endometriosis?
Scar endometriosis is a condition where endometrial tissue (the lining of the uterus) grows in a surgical scar, most commonly after procedures like a caesarean section (C-section).
This tissue behaves like normal endometrium and can cause pain and swelling, especially during menstrual cycles.
What Causes Scar Endometriosis?
Scar endometriosis usually occurs when endometrial cells get implanted in the surgical wound during procedures such as:
-
Caesarean section (C-section)
-
Laparoscopic surgery
-
Other uterine surgeries
Over time, these cells grow in the scar tissue and respond to hormonal changes.
SYMPTOMS
Pain at or near surgical scar
Swelling or lump near the scar
Pain that increases during periods
Discomfort while moving or touching the area
How is Scar Endometriosis Diagnosed?
Diagnosis is based on:
-
Clinical examination
-
Ultrasound imaging
-
MRI in selected cases
A detailed history of previous surgeries helps in making the diagnosis.
Treatment of Scar Endometriosis
Surgical Removal - Definitive treatment
The most effective treatment for scar endometriosis is complete surgical excision of the affected tissue.
This ensures:
-
Relief from pain
-
Prevention of recurrence
-
Removal of the lump
Role of Laparoscopic Surgery
In some cases, laparoscopic evaluation may be required to rule out associated pelvic endometriosis.
Is Scar Endometriosis serious?
Scar endometriosis is a benign condition, but it can significantly affect quality of life due to pain and discomfort.
Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent progression and provide complete relief.
When should you see a specialist?
Consult a gynaecologist if you have:
-
Persistent pain near a surgical scar
-
A lump that becomes painful during periods
-
History of C-section with new onset scar pain
