Health A-Z

When it comes to female genital procedures, there are various conditions that may require medical attention, each with its own set of symptoms, treatment plans, and diagnosis testing. Here are some common ones.

• Pelvic pain (chronic or cyclical)
• Painful menstrual periods (dysmenorrhea)
• Pain during or after sexual intercourse (dyspareunia)
• Infertility or difficulty conceiving

• Pain management with NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) or hormonal therapy (e.g., birth control pills, GnRH agonists)
• Surgical removal of endometrial implants and scar tissue (laparoscopic excision)
• Hormonal therapies or assisted reproductive techniques for infertility associated with endometriosis

• Pelvic examination to assess for tender areas or masses
• Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) to visualize endometrial implants
• Laparoscopy (minimally invasive surgery) for definitive diagnosis by visual inspection and tissue biopsy
