Endometriosis Diagnosis Can Be Elusive, Treatment Must Be Tailored, Romanian Gynecologist warns
Râmnicu Vâlcea, Romania – Endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, can be challenging to diagnose and requires individualized treatment plans, according to Dr. Cosmina Brummer Le Roux, an obstetrician-gynecologist practicing in Râmnicu Vâlcea. The disease can cause pelvic pain,pain during intercourse,and difficulty conceiving,yet frequently enough goes undiagnosed for extended periods.
Dr. Brummer Le Roux explained that endometriosis manifests with symptoms like pelvic and lower abdominal pain, pain during sexual activity, and irregular bleeding – either between periods or abnormally heavy menstruation. diagnosis frequently enough requires time to correlate patient symptoms with ultrasound findings.
“Sometimes this disease is tough to diagnose, sometimes it is not difficult,” she stated.
Treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. “The treatments are individualized,” Dr. Brummer Le Roux emphasized. “It is indeed taken into account if the patient is young or if she is of a certain age. The patient’s option to have a pregnancy or not in the future is taken into account because it is a hormonal change after excess estrogen.” Therapy often involves hormonal treatments to suppress menstruation for approximately three months, depending on the case.
The condition can also impact fertility. “Getting pregnancy is more difficult,” Dr. Brummer Le Roux noted, adding that assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization may be necessary.
Dr. Brummer Le Roux strongly encourages women to prioritize regular gynecological checkups. ”Patients must go over the emotion of going to the gynecologist. It is indeed vital routine gynecological control. we have enough patients that we diagnose with endometriosis without giving themselves to control with symptoms, without pain and without problems with bleeding.”
