Endometriosis Specialist in Fredericksburg

Pain Before and After Menstruation

One of the main signs of endometriosis is pain that happens before, during, and after your period. You may feel strong cramps or pain in your lower belly, and it may hurt when you urinate. You can also have pain during and after sex, as well as aches in your lower back.

Heavy Bleeding

Some women may experience heavy bleeding during their menstrual period. Endometriosis causes tissue that is similar to the uterine lining to grow outside of the uterus, usually on the ovaries. This endometrial tissue sheds irregularly, resulting in prolonged menstrual bleeding.

Infertility

Endometriosis can lead to infertility in some women. Many may not realize they struggle to conceive because of endometriosis until they actively try to become pregnant. The condition can cause scar tissue and inflammation in the pelvic area, which may distort the anatomy and block the fallopian tubes. This blockage makes it challenging for an egg to travel to the uterus or for sperm to reach the egg.

Medication

Medication may be prescribed by your endometriosis specialist in Fredericksburg to address your symptoms. Medication may include anti-inflammatory drugs, hormonal birth control, or other hormonal medication.

Surgery

At WeCare, your endometriosis specialist in Fredericksburg may recommend laparoscopic surgery to treat endometriosis. This minimally invasive surgery allows your provider to treat gynecological conditions like endometriosis. With the guidance of the scope, we can use other surgical tools to remove the problematic issue.
