Lasting relief from
endometriosis pain.
Advanced diagnosis and personalised treatment for endometriosis — combining pain management, hormonal therapy, and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery.
Understanding Endometriosis
A chronic condition that affects millions of women, often silently, until symptoms demand attention.
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) grows outside the uterus — most commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the tissue lining the pelvis. This displaced tissue continues to act as it would inside the uterus, thickening and bleeding with each menstrual cycle, but with no way to exit the body.
This leads to inflammation, scar tissue, and often significant pain. At Sanjeevini Maternity & Fertility Centre, we offer thorough evaluation and a personalised treatment plan that addresses both symptom relief and long-term reproductive health.
Quick Facts About Endometriosis
- Affects roughly 1 in 10 women of reproductive age worldwide
- Often takes years to diagnose due to overlapping symptoms with other conditions
- One of the leading causes of chronic pelvic pain and infertility
- Manageable with the right combination of medical and surgical care
Endometriosis & Its Effects
Understanding how endometriosis can impact different aspects of a woman's health and daily life.
Chronic Pelvic Pain
Persistent pain before and during periods that can affect daily activities and quality of life.
Fertility Challenges
Can affect the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterine environment, making conception more difficult.
Hormonal Disruption
Interferes with normal hormonal rhythm, often causing heavy or irregular menstrual cycles.
Emotional & Physical Fatigue
Chronic pain and hormonal changes can lead to fatigue, stress and reduced overall wellbeing.
Symptoms & When to Seek Care
Endometriosis symptoms vary widely — recognising them early leads to faster diagnosis and relief.
Severe Menstrual Cramps
Painful periods that don't improve with regular pain relief
Chronic Pelvic Pain
Persistent lower abdominal pain, not limited to menstruation
Pain During Intercourse
Discomfort or deep pain during or after sexual activity
Heavy or Irregular Periods
Unusually heavy bleeding or spotting between periods
Pain with Bowel or Bladder Movements
Especially noticeable during menstruation
Difficulty Conceiving
Trouble getting pregnant, sometimes the first sign of endometriosis
When to Seek Immediate Care
Consult a specialist if pelvic pain is disrupting your daily life, periods are progressively worsening, or you're facing difficulty conceiving — early evaluation leads to better long-term outcomes.
Diagnosis & Evaluation
A precise, step-by-step evaluation to confirm endometriosis and understand its extent before recommending treatment.
Detailed Consultation & Pelvic Exam
We begin with a thorough review of your menstrual history, pain pattern, and a pelvic examination to check for tenderness, cysts, or scar tissue.
Transvaginal & Pelvic Ultrasound (USG)
Ultrasound imaging helps identify endometriotic cysts (chocolate cysts) and assess the ovaries and pelvic structures in detail.
MRI & Advanced Imaging (If Needed)
For deep or complex endometriosis, MRI offers a detailed map of affected areas to guide accurate treatment planning.
Diagnostic Laparoscopy
Considered the gold standard for confirming endometriosis, this minimally invasive procedure allows direct visualisation and, if needed, simultaneous treatment.
Personalised Treatment Planning
Based on the stage of endometriosis, symptoms, and your fertility goals, our specialists recommend the most suitable path — from pain management to laparoscopic surgery and fertility support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about endometriosis and its treatment.
What is endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or pelvic lining, causing pain and inflammation.
Can endometriosis affect fertility?
Yes, endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility as it can affect the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterine environment. Many women still conceive successfully with appropriate treatment and fertility support.
What are the main symptoms of endometriosis?
Common symptoms include severe menstrual cramps, chronic pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, heavy periods, and pain during bowel movements or urination, especially during menstruation.
Is surgery always needed for endometriosis?
No. Treatment depends on symptom severity and fertility goals — options range from pain medication and hormonal therapy to laparoscopic surgery for more advanced or symptomatic cases.
How is endometriosis diagnosed?
Endometriosis is diagnosed through pelvic examination, transvaginal ultrasound, MRI in complex cases, and sometimes laparoscopy, which remains the most definitive diagnostic method.
