Endometriosis & painful periods in Ranchi.

Period pain severe enough to stop your day, miss work or college, or that’s getting worse over time, is not something you simply have to endure. It can be a sign of endometriosis — and it is treatable.

In short: Severe, worsening period pain — especially with pain during sex, heavy bleeding or difficulty conceiving — can be caused by endometriosis, where tissue like the womb lining grows outside the uterus. At Medifirst, Bariatu, Dr. Anshu Agarwal diagnoses and treats it with medical management and, where needed, keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery to relieve pain and protect fertility.

Quick answers

Endometriosis, in brief

What is it

Tissue like the womb lining growing outside the uterus, causing pain and inflammation.

Signs

Severe period pain, pain during sex, heavy periods, pelvic pain, or trouble conceiving.

Treatment

Medical management for pain and, where needed, keyhole surgery to remove the tissue.

When to see a doctor

Period pain that stops your day, is getting worse, or doesn’t respond to ordinary painkillers.

01 / Understanding it

Why severe period pain isn’t “normal”

Mild period cramps are normal. But pain that is severe, worsening, or stops you living your normal life is not, and is too often dismissed. One common cause is endometriosis, where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in places it shouldn’t — on the ovaries, tubes or pelvis — and bleeds and inflames with each cycle.

Beyond painful periods, endometriosis can cause pain during sex, chronic pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, and difficulty conceiving. It is diagnosed from the history and examination, scans, and sometimes a keyhole look inside (laparoscopy), which can diagnose and treat it in one step.

Dr. Agarwal treats endometriosis with a plan matched to your symptoms and goals — medical management to control pain and slow the disease, and laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to remove endometriosis tissue and cysts where it will help, relieving pain and protecting fertility.

02 / Is treatment right for you?

07 / Your questions, answered

Endometriosis questions

When is period pain a problem?
When it is severe enough to stop your day, is getting worse, doesn’t respond to ordinary painkillers, or comes with pain during sex, heavy bleeding or difficulty conceiving. That deserves proper assessment rather than just stronger painkillers.
How is endometriosis diagnosed?
From your history and examination, an ultrasound, and sometimes a keyhole look inside the pelvis (laparoscopy), which can both confirm the diagnosis and treat it in the same procedure.
Does endometriosis always need surgery?
No. Many women are managed with pain relief and hormonal treatment. Laparoscopic surgery is advised when it will relieve pain, remove cysts, or help fertility — and it is done the keyhole way.
Can endometriosis affect my fertility?
It can, which is why it is treated with your goals in mind. Keyhole surgery and coordinated fertility care improve the chances of conceiving for many women.
Is treatment covered by insurance?
Out-patient care is inexpensive and usually paid directly. Any surgery is covered by most health-insurance policies, with cashless facility at Medifirst.
