The appearance of the modified area is mistaken for infiltration, resulting in a woman receives an incorrect treatment. The result - deterioration.
One of the signs of pathology is the development of pain in a postoperative pulling character seam area. Before the onset of menses has increased, discomfort followed subsided, coinciding with the end of bleeding.

diagnosis of the disease
The appearance of endometriosis after birth is no exception, so the uncharacteristic symptoms the woman advised to consult a gynecologist.
The following diagnostic methods are used to establish the pathological condition:
- Pelvic ultrasound. Held on 22-25 th day of the menstrual cycle. The characteristic symptom of disease - the uterus spherical.
- Laparoscopy. The procedure helps to assess the prevalence of the process and remove the pathological centers if necessary.
- uterus hysteroscopy. Is an examination of the uterine cavity by means of a hysteroscope.
During hysteroscopic endometrial germination can be diagnosed in the muscle layer. In this case, the woman put diagnosis "adenomyosis". The condition is a special case of endometriosis.
endometriosis treatment
When diagnosing postpartum endometriosis apply symptomatic therapy. Treatment may be conservative and surgical.
conservative therapy
Endometriosis is included in the group of pathologies dependent hormonal, so during treatment necessarily realized pharmacological practice.
To receive assigned a different group of hormones. They reduce the amount of the active substances produced by the female body, which leads to a reduction in the size of endometriotic lesions.
Depending on the stage of the disease can be administered:
- oral contraceptives;
- means containing progestogens;
- agonists and antagonists of gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
Hormone therapy causes a woman pseudomenopausal development. The only exceptions are the standard drugs contraception. State is accompanied by the classic symptoms: lack of menstrual periods, hot flashes, sweating. Duration of the course is three to six months. After the abolition of ovarian hormones are normalized, there is a restoration of the menstrual cycle.
Additionally appointed antispasmodics to relieve painful symptoms and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Just be sure to check the information on the non-hormonal medicines and to treat endometriosis.
Surgical intervention
Surgical treatment of endometriosis is conducted by techniques such as:
- Cauterization of endometriotic lesions detected during hysteroscopy.
- Laparoscopy. At the time of medical procedures the doctor performs excision of pathological sections formed adhesions. It is this type of surgical treatment of the disease is recognized by gynecologists 'gold standard'. Laparoscopy allows to consider even small endometrial lesions, as they are clearly visible in the enlarged surgical site.
- Excision portion of endometriosis with a scalpel. The technique is practiced in the case when a woman diagnosed with endometriosis postoperative scar. The surgeon removing a portion of the anterior abdominal wall tissues with wide excision of skin. Subsequently, you may need the help of plastic surgeons.

- necessary to prevent the development of unwanted pregnancy, to prevent penetration of intracavitary uterus undesirable as diagnostic and curettage, as in the procedure may be damaged neck uterus;
- as protection methods desirably selected oral contraceptives, giving preference to the preformed format instead intrauterine device;
- need time to treat inflammatory diseases of the female reproductive system, as a violation of hormonal background - is one of the triggering factors of the pathology.
During intrauterine interventions is very important to the basal layer of the endometrium remained intact.
the possibility of conception
It is important to understand that endometriosis is not synonymous with the word "infertility", but in the development of this pathology is the probability of conception decreases.
The main cause of ovarian dysfunction in favor. The woman is a violation of the menstrual cycle, which is reflected in the absence of ovulation: follicle simply not mature, ready to fertilize the egg missing. But if tubal patency is maintained, and at least one ovary is functioning normally, the chance of conceiving is quite high.
A hindrance to the full development of pregnancy becomes a damage to the basal layer of the endometrium, which cells are used organism to restore the thickness of the functional layer of the mother needed for the attachment of the fertilized egg.
Endometriosis - a serious pathology, significantly worsens the quality of life of women. That is why the development of characteristic symptoms need to get expert advice and adequate treatment.
