ENDOMETRIOSIS
Endometriosis is a common health condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. Like the uterine lining, this tissue thickens and bleeds during each menstrual cycle. However, because it is located outside the uterus, the blood has no way to exit the body. This can lead to pain, swelling, and sometimes the development of scar tissue.
It commonly affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes and pelvic region.
This condition can cause severe period pain, chronic pelvic pain and infertility, and often goes undiagnosed for years.
Endometriosis involving the muscle of uterus causing Bulky uterus is called Adenomyosis.
Endometriosis can also cause Chocolate cyst.
It may also present as Scar Endometriosis in a previous surgical site which pains and bleeds during periods.
If you are experiencing symptoms of endometriosis in Navi Mumbai, early evaluation and treatment are important.​
