Handling a Painful Disease
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) grows outside the uterus.
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) grows outside the uterus. This tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, outer surface of the uterus, and other pelvic organs. Each month, the misplaced tissue responds to hormonal changes, thickening and breaking down as it would during a menstrual cycle. However, because this tissue has no way to exit the body, it becomes trapped, causing inflammation, pain, and scar tissue formation.
Endometriosis is a common condition affecting around 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, though it often goes undiagnosed for years due to its diverse symptoms. The exact cause of endometriosis is still unknown, but it may be linked to factors such as genetics, immune system dysfunction, and retrograde menstruation, where menstrual blood flows back through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity.
ENDOMETRIOSIS SYMPTOMS
- The symptoms of endometriosis can vary in severity and can affect different areas of a woman's health. Common symptoms include:
- Pelvic Pain: Chronic pelvic pain, often worse during menstruation, is the most common symptom of endometriosis. This pain can extend to the lower back and legs.
- Painful Periods: Dysmenorrhea, or unusually painful periods, is a hallmark symptom, often accompanied by heavy menstrual bleeding.
- Pain During Intercourse: Pain during or after sexual intercourse is frequently reported by women with endometriosis.
- Bowel and Bladder Issues: Women may experience pain during bowel movements or urination, especially during their periods.
- Infertility: Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility, as the condition can affect the function of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus.
- Fatigue and Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Some women also report fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and nausea, particularly during menstruation.
- These symptoms can significantly disrupt daily life and overall well-being, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.

Impact of Endometriosis on Women's Health
- Endometriosis can have a profound impact on both physical and mental health. The most immediate concern is chronic pain, which can be debilitating and affect work, relationships, and social activities. Over time, the condition can also lead to complications such as ovarian cysts (endometriomas) and adhesions, where organs may become stuck together due to scar tissue.
- In terms of reproductive health, endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility. The inflammation and scarring caused by the condition can affect the normal functioning of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus, making it difficult for women to conceive. Even for those who do not experience fertility issues, endometriosis can lead to emotional stress, anxiety, and depression due to the chronic nature of the condition and its impact on quality of life.
- Additionally, the ongoing pain and discomfort associated with endometriosis can lead to fatigue and reduced productivity, further affecting a woman’s mental and physical health.
Supportive Treatment in Endometriosis
- While conventional treatments for endometriosis include hormonal therapies and surgery, there are lifestyle changes that can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life:
- Diet and Lifestyle Changes: Anti-inflammatory diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help reduce inflammation and improve overall health. Regular exercise and stress management techniques like yoga and meditation can also help alleviate symptoms.
- Pelvic Physical Therapy: Pelvic floor physical therapy can help manage the muscle tension and pelvic pain associated with endometriosis, offering relief without the need for surgery or medication.
- Supplements: Vitamins like B6, magnesium, and antioxidants such as vitamin E may help improve hormone regulation and reduce inflammation, though more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
- These supportive treatments can be used alongside traditional medical approaches to provide holistic symptom management. To book an appointment with the best gynecologist in Noida, Click here.

I was referred to Dr. Puja Jain Dewan after developing high blood pressure in the early stages of my pregnancy. She immediately put me on a closely monitored plan that included regular check-ups, medication adjustments, and dietary changes. Her proactive approach helped me avoid any severe complications. When I experienced issues towards the end of my pregnancy, Dr. Puja was there every step of the way, ensuring both my baby and I were safe. I successfully delivered a healthy baby girl, and I am forever grateful for the extraordinary care Dr Puja provided.
I was going through a pre-menopausal phase where I was having trouble managing my symptoms of hot flashes, irritability and mood swings. I am so glad that I visited Dr Puja for that. She listened to me patiently, made me feel comfortable and assured me that everything is going to be alright. She then suggested some lifestyle changes, dietary changes and prescribed some meds. I didn't know that all these things will make such a huge difference. I finally feel like myself again! Thank you Dr Puja You are an amazing doctor and a good human being.
As I was experiencing various annoying symptoms, My friend recommended Dr Puja So I visited her clinic. I was quite sceptical as I had never visited a gynac before. But the experience was great, she understood my concerns and diagnosed PCOS. She also reassured me that some lifestyle changes and meds will have it managed. I followed her advice religiously and I am perfectly fine again. All those annoying symptoms, mood swings and acne are now gone. Such gynaecologists are rare these days. She is now going to be my gyne for life! Thank You so much Ma'am
