What Is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a chronic condition that occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. These growths can develop on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic lining, bladder, bowel, and other areas of the pelvis.

Because this tissue responds to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, it can cause inflammation, irritation, scar tissue formation, and significant pain.

Endometriosis affects millions of women and is one of the most common causes of chronic pelvic pain.

What Are the Symptoms of Endometriosis?

Symptoms can vary from person to person, and the severity of symptoms does not always correlate with the extent of the disease.

Common symptoms include:

  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Severe menstrual cramps
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding
  • Pain during or after intercourse
  • Lower back pain
  • Painful bowel movements
  • Painful urination
  • Abdominal bloating
  • Fatigue
  • Infertility
  • Pain that worsens during menstruation

If you are experiencing persistent pelvic pain, it is important to seek evaluation and treatment.

What Causes Endometriosis Pain?

Endometriosis pain can occur for several reasons, including:

Inflammation

Endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus can trigger inflammation throughout the pelvic region, leading to pain and discomfort.

Scar Tissue and Adhesions

Over time, endometriosis may cause scar tissue and adhesions that restrict normal movement of pelvic organs and contribute to chronic pain.

Nerve Irritation

Endometriosis lesions may affect surrounding nerves, creating ongoing pelvic pain and nerve-related symptoms.

Muscle Dysfunction

Chronic pain often causes muscles within the pelvic floor and surrounding areas to tighten, creating additional discomfort and pain patterns.

How Is Endometriosis Diagnosed?

Diagnosis typically begins with a thorough medical evaluation and discussion of symptoms.

Your healthcare provider may recommend:

  • Comprehensive medical history review
  • Pelvic examination
  • Ultrasound imaging
  • MRI studies
  • Referral to a gynecologist when appropriate
  • Diagnostic laparoscopy in certain cases

Accurate diagnosis is essential for developing an effective treatment plan.

Endometriosis Pain Management Treatments

At Westside Pain Specialists, we focus on helping women manage chronic pain associated with endometriosis and improve their overall quality of life.

Medication Management

Medications may help reduce inflammation, improve symptom control, and support overall pain relief.

Nerve Block Injections

Targeted nerve blocks may help interrupt pain signals and provide relief from chronic pelvic pain associated with endometriosis.

Trigger Point Injections

Trigger point therapy may be beneficial for patients experiencing muscle tension and pelvic floor dysfunction related to chronic pain.

Interventional Pain Management Procedures

Minimally invasive pain management treatments may help reduce chronic pelvic pain and improve daily function.

Multidisciplinary Care

We often work alongside gynecologists and other specialists to ensure comprehensive treatment that addresses both the underlying condition and the pain it causes.

Benefits of Endometriosis Pain Treatment

Effective pain management can help patients:

  • Reduce chronic pelvic pain
  • Improve daily functioning
  • Increase mobility and activity levels
  • Improve sleep quality
  • Enhance emotional well-being
  • Reduce dependence on pain medications
  • Improve overall quality of life

Our goal is to help patients regain comfort and return to the activities they enjoy.

When Should You Seek Treatment for Endometriosis?

You should consider seeking professional care if you experience:

  • Severe menstrual pain
  • Pelvic pain that interferes with daily life
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Persistent lower abdominal pain
  • Pain that is not adequately controlled with over-the-counter medications
