Understanding Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining starts to grow in other areas of the body. This can cause painful periods, discomfort, and fertility issues. The exact cause of endometriosis is unknown, but it is a common condition affecting millions worldwide.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of endometriosis. At Grosvenor Gardens Healthcare, we use a combination of clinical evaluation and advanced imaging techniques to confirm the diagnosis:
- Consultation and History: An in-depth discussion of your symptoms, menstrual history, and any previous medical treatments.
- Ultrasound Scanning: To identify visible signs of endometriosis such as cysts on the ovaries (endometriomas).
- Laparoscopy: In some cases, a minimally invasive surgery may be recommended, which allows our specialists to see into the abdomen and confirm the presence of endometrial tissue.

- Surgical Options: For severe cases, procedures like laparoscopic excision of endometriosis may be necessary to remove the endometrial tissue and provide relief from pain.
