Endometriosis — a disease whose diagnosis takes an average of 7 years
Affects up to 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. At Femi Premium we shorten the diagnostic journey — specialist ultrasound, experienced physician, treatment plan at the first visit.
Symptoms
- Severe period pain worsening yearly
- Pain during/after intercourse (deep dyspareunia)
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Painful bowel movements/urination during menstruation
- Fertility problems (30–50% of infertility cases)
Treatment
- Hormonal pharmacotherapy (dienogest, continuous contraception, GnRH analogues)
- Pain management — multimodal plan
- Pelvic floor physiotherapy
- Diet and lifestyle
- Surgical referral for deep endometriosis
- Pregnancy planning with endometriosis
Important: diagnosing endometriosis does NOT require laparoscopy. Ultrasound in experienced hands achieves accuracy comparable to MRI.
