What is Endometriosis? Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation and persistent pain, especially during menstruation. This tissue undergoes the same hormonal changes as the normal uterine lining—it thickens, breaks down, and bleeds—but since it has no way to exit the body, it leads to inflammation and scar formation. This can affect the ovaries and fallopian tubes, causing severe pain and potentially reducing fertility. Symptoms of Endometriosis Severe pelvic pain, especially during menstruation. Pain during intercourse. Pain while urinating or having a bowel movement, particularly during menstruation. Mood swings, depression, and anxiety. Heavy menstrual bleeding or irregular bleeding between periods. Persistent fatigue, bloating, nausea, or diarrhea, especially during menstruation Endometriosis Surgery with Laparoscopy Laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis is performed under the supervision of Dr. Ayman Taher, an expert in laparoscopic surgery. This advanced technique aims to remove damaged tissue using precise surgical instruments inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. The procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes and 6 hours, depending on the patient’s condition and severity of the disease. Procedure Steps Making small incisions in the lower abdomen. Injecting a special gas into the abdomen to enhance visibility. Inserting a laparoscope to locate the affected tissue. Using surgical instruments through the incisions to remove the endometrial tissue. Removing the instruments and closing the incisions. Most patients can return home the same day. This surgery offers less pain and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Is Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometriosis Risky? Like any surgical procedure, this operation carries some potential risks, including: Infection or bleeding. Damage to organs affected by endometriosis. Injury to nearby organs such as the bladder or intestines. Temporary difficulty in bowel movements, which usually resolves quickly after surgery. Can You Get Pregnant After Endometriosis Surgery? The chances of pregnancy increase after laparoscopic removal of endometriosis, especially when performed by Dr. Ayman Taher. However, successful conception depends not only on removing the affected tissue but also on the condition of the fallopian tubes and the number of healthy eggs available for fertilization. Can Endometriosis Return After Laparoscopy? Endometriosis can recur if the affected tissue is not completely removed during surgery. This is why choosing an experienced surgeon like Dr. Ayman Taher is crucial. He ensures the thorough removal of all diseased tissue, significantly reducing the likelihood of recurrence and providing long-term relief with proper post-surgical follow-up.
