Endometriosis is one of the most complex gynecological conditions affecting a woman’s fertility and quality of life. Dr. Hassan Osama El Ashqar, Specialist in Obstetrics, Gynecology, Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery, and Gynecologic Oncology, stresses the importance of early diagnosis and precise treatment to prevent chronic complications and restore hormonal and functional balance.
Medical experience explains that endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, such as on the ovaries, pelvis, or intestines. This abnormal growth causes inflammation and severe pain that worsens during menstruation and may lead to infertility.
Here, Dr. Hassan Osama El Ashqar emphasizes that ignoring early symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain or menstrual irregularities can cause the condition to progress to more advanced stages that are harder to treat.
Symptoms that warn women to consult a gynecologist include:
Severe menstrual cramps
Pain during intercourse
Abnormal bleeding
Fertility problems
Digestive discomfort during menstruation
In this regard, Dr. Hassan Osama El Ashqar confirms that a thorough clinical examination combined with diagnostic laparoscopy is essential to determine the location and extent of endometrial lesions and to set the most effective treatment plan.
Recent studies explain that treatment depends on the severity of the condition and the patient’s fertility goals, and may include:
Hormonal therapy to suppress the growth of endometrial tissue.
Laparoscopic surgery to remove active lesions while preserving healthy organs.
Fertility support through assisted reproduction techniques such as IVF or ICSI.
In this context, Dr. Hassan Osama El Ashqar stresses that minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery remains the safest and most effective option to treat endometriosis and restore ovarian function without complications.
Medical evidence confirms that endometriosis is a major cause of infertility in women, as it affects egg quality and natural ovulation. Here, Dr. Hassan Osama El Ashqar explains that early treatment before adhesions or fallopian tube blockage occur significantly improves the chances of natural conception and reduces the need for advanced fertility interventions.
Dr. Hassan Osama El Ashqar warns every woman not to ignore persistent pelvic pain or irregular menstrual cycles, since early diagnosis and management of endometriosis lead to the best treatment outcomes and prevent long-term complications
