Endometriosis Surgery in Hyderabad

When Is Surgery Recommended for Endometriosis?

Surgery is recommended when medical therapy has not provided adequate pain relief, when endometriomas (chocolate cysts) are present, when fertility is affected, or when severe adhesions or deep infiltrating endometriosis is suspected. The goal of surgery is to remove as much endometriosis tissue as possible while preserving fertility wherever appropriate.

Endometriosis – Treatment Options Available

• Surgical Management: Complete excision of endometriotic lesions (preferred approach), also called surgical clearance, typically performed via laparoscopy to remove visible disease, restore normal anatomy, and improve pain and fertility outcomes
• Diet and Lifestyle Modifications: Increase fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids; reduce processed foods, red meat, and caffeine (if symptomatic). Regular exercise and stress management can support symptom control
• Anti-inflammatory Supplements: Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, Curcumin (turmeric extract), and Magnesium may help reduce inflammation and pain
• Hormonal Therapy (if needed): Combined oral contraceptive pills, Progestins, and GnRH agonists/antagonists to suppress disease activity and reduce estrogen stimulation
• Prevention of Recurrence: Post-surgical hormonal therapy, long-term follow-up, and lifestyle modifications to maintain relief

The Laparoscopic Excision Procedure

Under general anaesthesia, a laparoscope and thin surgical instruments are inserted through tiny incisions.
