Understanding and managing Endometriosis in South Bend
Understanding and Managing Endometriosis
Endometriosis affects millions of women worldwide, causing pain, discomfort, and potential fertility issues. At Candescent Health and Wellness in South Bend, IN, we're committed to helping you understand and manage this condition effectively.
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This tissue responds to hormonal changes, causing inflammation, pain, and sometimes scar tissue formation.
Symptoms
Common symptoms include:
Severe pelvic pain, especially during menstrual periods
Pain during or after sex
Heavy bleeding during periods
Difficulty getting pregnant
Fatigue and bloating
Diagnosis and Treatment Options
Diagnosing endometriosis often involves a combination of symptom assessment, physical examination, and sometimes laparoscopic surgery. At Candescent Health and Wellness, we offer various treatment options tailored to your specific needs:
Medications
Pain relievers: Over-the-counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen can help manage pain.
Hormonal therapies: Birth control pills, progestins, and GnRH agonists can help control symptoms by regulating hormones.
Surgical Interventions
For more severe cases, laparoscopic surgery may be recommended to remove endometrial implants and scar tissue.
