Endometriosis

Best Endometriosis Specialist in Hyderabad

Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological condition that can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life. Early diagnosis and expert care are key to managing symptoms effectively and preserving fertility.

Understanding Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining (endometrium) grows outside the uterus — on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, or bowel. This displaced tissue behaves like the normal endometrium: it thickens, breaks down, and bleeds with every menstrual cycle but has nowhere to go, causing inflammation, scar tissue, and often severe pain.

Common Symptoms of Endometriosis

Severe, debilitating period pain (dysmenorrhea)
Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
Chronic pelvic pain throughout the month
Pain during or after sexual intercourse
Pain during urination or bowel movements
Infertility or difficulty conceiving
Fatigue, bloating, and digestive issues

Why Is Endometriosis Often Misdiagnosed?

Endometriosis is frequently misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome, pelvic inflammatory disease, or 'normal' period pain. The average delay in diagnosis is 7 to 10 years. An experienced specialist like Dr. Nikitha Reddy DS uses a thorough history, targeted ultrasound, and laparoscopy to establish an accurate and timely diagnosis.
