What Is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, commonly on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic lining, bladder, or bowel.
It affects approximately 1 in 10 women and people assigned female at birth during their reproductive years.
Common symptoms include:
- Severe period pain
- Pelvic pain outside of menstruation
- Pain with intercourse
- Painful bowel movements
- Heavy periods
- Infertility
- Fatigue and brain fog
If you are experiencing ongoing pelvic pain, our naturopaths provide thorough assessment and treatment planning.
How Is Endometriosis Diagnosed?
Many patients ask, how do you diagnose endometriosis? Diagnosis can be challenging, as symptoms vary widely and standard imaging does not always detect the condition.
Pelvic ultrasound may identify ovarian cysts known as endometriomas, while MRI can sometimes detect deeper infiltrating lesions. However, smaller or superficial implants are often missed on imaging. Laparoscopic surgery remains the gold standard for definitive diagnosis because it allows direct visualization and biopsy of endometrial lesions.
At Mint, we provide comprehensive clinical assessment and patient advocacy when surgical diagnosis or endometriosis surgery is being considered. We also evaluate contributing factors that may influence symptoms and progression, including estrogen dominance, chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, gut dysfunction, and insulin resistance.
If you’re wondering whether you may have endometriosis or if surgery is necessary, our team can guide you through the diagnostic process and help you make informed decisions about your care.
