Do you have painful periods? Heavy flow? Pelvic or back pain even between periods? You may have symptoms of endometriosis. To find out if you may have endometriosis, you can take this quiz at https://www.thomsonmedical.com/endometriosis/

Endometriosis is a common condition suffered by many women in the reproductive age group. The cause of this condition is still unknown, although many theories have been considered. The most popular theory is that of retrograde menstruation, where menstrual blood “leaks backwards” from the womb into the pelvis, instead of the leaving the body via the va**na. The presence of these tissues in the wrong part of the body is recognized by the immune system as “foreign”, which leads to chronic inflammation in the pelvis, resulting in permanent scarring with pain for some women and infertility for others.

The ideal treatment for endometriosis has yet to be found. Hormonal therapies have their own side effects, but they invariably disrupt natural ovulation of the women and are thus counter-effective for infertility treatment.

Surgery for endometriosis fundamentally aims to remove as much of the disease load as possible, allowing for faster symptomatic relief, without the detrimental effect on ovulation. At STO+G Practice, we aim to provide holistic treatment for endometriosis best catered to your needs. You can make an appointment by calling any of our clinics, or emailing [email protected]
