How to prepare for an endometriosis consultation?
It is worth bringing your existing medical records to the visit, including test results, descriptions of previous consultations and information about medications and any hormonal treatment used. It also helps to note down when the pain appears, how long it lasts and whether it worsens before menstruation, during bleeding, intercourse, urination or bowel movements.
Before the consultation, it is helpful to prepare the date of your last period, information about cycle regularity, the intensity of bleeding and any difficulties with conceiving. This information helps the doctor better assess the symptoms of endometriosis, plan diagnostics and tailor further treatment to the patient's current situation.
Endometriosis symptoms
Symptoms of endometriosis can be different in every patient. Most commonly they include severe painful periods, chronic lower abdominal pain, pain in the pelvic area, pain during intercourse, discomfort during bowel movements or urination and spotting before menstruation. In some women, endometriosis may also be associated with difficulty getting pregnant. The severity of symptoms does not always correspond to the stage of the disease, so recurring complaints should not be ignored.
Painful periods and endometriosis
Severe painful periods may be one of the most important signals of endometriosis, particularly when the pain disrupts daily life, requires regular use of painkillers or worsens over time. Pain that appears before menstruation, radiating to the back, groin or thighs, is also concerning. In such cases it is worth seeing a gynaecologist to discuss the symptoms and plan diagnostics.
Pain during intercourse and chronic lower abdominal pain
Endometriosis can cause chronic lower abdominal pain, a feeling of fullness in the pelvis and pain during intercourse, especially deep pain. Such complaints are often related to the location of endometriosis lesions, adhesions or inflammation within the lesser pelvis. Symptoms may worsen at certain points in the cycle, and in some patients they also occur outside menstruation.
Endometriosis and infertility
Endometriosis can make it harder to conceive, particularly when it affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes, ovulation or causes adhesions in the pelvis. This does not, however, mean that every patient with endometriosis will have fertility problems. If a woman is trying to conceive and has symptoms suggestive of endometriosis, it is worth discussing this with a doctor who will assess the situation and suggest further steps.
What does endometriosis diagnosis look like?
Endometriosis diagnosis starts with a thorough medical interview and discussion of symptoms. The doctor asks, among other things, about the nature of the pain, the course of menstruation, complaints during intercourse, bowel issues, previous treatment and attempts to conceive. Next they perform a gynaecological examination and review the existing test results. Gynaecological ultrasound is helpful in diagnostics, particularly when an endometrial cyst is suspected, although not every form of endometriosis is visible on imaging.
Endometrial cyst - what does such a result mean?
An endometrial cyst, also called a chocolate cyst, is an ovarian lesion related to endometriosis. Its presence requires a gynaecological assessment, because further management depends on the size of the cyst, symptoms, the patient's age, pregnancy plans and previous treatment. Not every endometrial cyst means surgery is needed, but each should be evaluated and discussed with a gynaecologist.
Endometriosis treatment in Warsaw
Endometriosis treatment at OpenMed Warsaw is tailored individually to the patient's symptoms, test results and pregnancy plans. Management may include pain relief, hormonal therapy, monitoring of lesions, follow-up of endometrial cysts or qualification for further diagnostics and surgical treatment. The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms, improve quality of life and plan care in a way that is safe for the patient.
Endometriosis - why not to delay a consultation?
Endometriosis can develop for a long time with symptoms that patients consider a "normal" part of the cycle. Severe painful periods, chronic lower abdominal pain, pain during intercourse or difficulty getting pregnant, however, all warrant a gynaecological consultation. Early diagnostics make it possible to better assess the cause of the symptoms and to plan endometriosis treatment that fits the patient's health, age and plans.
