What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a painful condition in women where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often affecting the ovaries and pelvic area. This abnormal tissue growth can cause pain, and bleeding outside of regular menstrual cycles, and may sometimes lead to difficulties with pregnancy.

The exact cause of endometriosis remains unclear. Potential causes could involve hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, immune system dysfunction, parasitic infections, or backward flow of menstrual blood.

A comprehensive approach to treating endometriosis can significantly reduce symptoms and improve overall well-being.

Endometriosis Symptoms

Endometriosis symptoms vary widely and may include those listed below. Some people may experience all of these symptoms, while others may have just a few.
  • Difficulty conceiving
  • Discomfort in the pelvic region
  • Painful menstrual cycles, with severe cases sometimes involving intense pain
  • Discomfort or pain during sexual activity (dyspareunia)
  • Heavy menstrual flow (menorrhagia)
  • Digestive problems, including constipation, diarrhea, bloating, or trouble with bowel movements
  • Constant tiredness
  • Pain in the lower back

How is Endometriosis Diagnosed?

Diagnosing endometriosis usually involves reviewing medical history, conducting a physical exam (including a pelvic exam), and using medical imaging. In some cases, a laparoscopy is done, where a small tube is inserted into the abdomen to view the uterus directly. Tissue samples may also be taken if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes endometriosis pain?
The pain caused by endometriosis occurs when cells similar to those in the uterus grow outside it. These cells can cause inflammation and scarring in the pelvic area, with symptoms often worsening during the menstrual cycle.
How can endometriosis cause infertility?

Endometriosis can impact fertility in several ways. The growths or scar tissue from the condition may block the path of eggs from the ovaries to the fallopian tubes, preventing fertilization. Hormonal imbalances caused by endometriosis can interfere with the menstrual cycle and ovulation, making it harder for healthy eggs to be released for fertilization. Inflammation from endometriosis can also affect the function of both sperm and eggs, reducing the chances of conception.

How is holistic treatment for endometriosis different from traditional treatment methods?
People with endometriosis often explore treatment options such as over-the-counter medications, pain management prescriptions, surgery to remove tissue growth or even complete removal of the uterus in severe cases. However, these treatments generally do not address the root cause of the condition.

Dr. Yuabova is dedicated to identifying the true cause of your endometriosis to guide her treatment recommendations. As part of her comprehensive assessment, she often includes a blood test to check your hormone levels and overall system function.

How can you treat endometriosis holistically?
To effectively manage endometriosis, it’s beneficial to combine wellness practices and natural healing with traditional medical treatments. This approach supports standard care by focusing on overall health and reducing discomfort.

The typical medical approach to endometriosis involves pain management with medication, hormonal therapy to reduce endometrial tissue, or surgery to remove the tissue and any scarring.

Do appointments have to be in person?
At our Fort Lauderdale location, patients can choose between telehealth or in-person appointments for the initial consultation and follow-up visits. If blood work or additional testing is needed, we will help you schedule a visit to a nearby lab that can perform the necessary tests.
