Endometriosis Clinic

The Endometriosis Clinic at Jaslok Hospital is a specialised centre that provides comprehensive care and treatment for women with endometriosis. Endometriosis is a chronic and painful gynaecological condition that affects millions of women worldwide. It occurs when the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of it, causing inflammation, scarring, and pain. The condition can also lead to fertility problems and other complications if left untreated.

The clinic is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals who work collaboratively to diagnose, treat, and manage endometriosis. The team includes gynaecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, and other specialists who are experts in treating this complex condition.

The clinic offers a wide range of services, including diagnostic testing, medical management, surgical interventions, and ongoing care and support. Patients who come to the clinic receive personalised treatment plans that are tailored to their individual needs and symptoms.

Diagnostic testing is an essential component of the clinic's services. Endometriosis can be difficult to diagnose because its symptoms are similar to other gynaecological conditions. Therefore, the clinic uses a range of diagnostic tools to accurately identify the condition, including pelvic exams, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and laparoscopy.

The clinic also provides counselling and support for patients who are considering fertility treatments or who wish to preserve their fertility before undergoing surgery.

Surgical interventions are an important part of the clinic's treatment options for patients with endometriosis. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure available at the clinic that can be used to remove endometrial tissue and relieve pain. The clinic also offers specialised surgeries such as bowel resection and urinary tract reconstruction for patients with more complex cases.

Ongoing care and support are crucial for patients with endometriosis, as the condition is chronic and can be challenging to manage. The clinic provides patients with access to a range of support services, including counselling, physical therapy, and pain management programs. Patients also receive education and guidance on how to manage their symptoms and maintain their overall health and well-being. 

One of the main features of the endometriosis clinic at Jaslok Hospital is its state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure. From advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound and MRI to minimally invasive surgical techniques such as laparoscopy, the clinic is equipped with all the latest technology and equipment to treat endometriosis.

The main goal of the Endometriosis Clinic is always to provide high-quality, compassionate care to women with endometriosis. The clinic's approach is patient-centred and focused on improving the quality of life for women with endometriosis.
