Do you experience pain during a monthly cycle, bowel movement, or sexual activity? You might suffer from endometriosis, and Nashville Healthcare Center can help. Turn to our endometriosis doctor for effective treatment and pain relief right here in Nashville, TN.
What Is Endometriosis?
This condition stems from tissue from the endometrium that grows outside of the uterus. It often affects the ovaries, pelvis tissue, and fallopian tubes. The tissue can’t escape the body and is trapped within your pelvic system, where, as a consequence, cysts may form. Some tissue may also have irritation, and adhesions can bind organs and other tissue together.
What Are the Symptoms?
You might have endometriosis if you experience pain in your pelvic region, especially during menstrual periods, intercourse, urination, or bowel movements. You may also experience excessive bleeding during or between periods.
Additional symptoms include persistent tiredness, as well as constipation, bloating, or nausea during your monthly menstrual cycle. In some cases, endometriosis may make it harder for patients to become pregnant and may lead to infertility.
What Are Possible Treatments?
Endometriosis and its associated symptoms often respond positively to pain medication, hormone therapy, and fertility treatment. Depending on whether you want to become pregnant or not, conservative surgery or hysterectomy might also be options.
