About This Treatment
What you need to know
What Is Endometriosis?
Every month, the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) builds up and is shed through the cervix during your period. In women with endometriosis, tissue like this lining grows outside the womb, for reasons that are still not fully understood. The blood and biochemicals released by these patches irritate the surrounding tissue and cause Pelvic Pain. When the patches become active during menstrual bleeding, the result is painful periods. Over time, the body may form scar tissue (adhesions) around these patches, leading to more severe chronic pain and difficulty in getting pregnant.

Endometriosis Can Cause
- Painful periods or chronic pelvic pain that interferes with normal daily activities.
- Fertility problems: even a mild degree of endometriosis can affect fertility, including natural conception.
- Dyspareunia: pain during intercourse, which can affect the married life of the couple.
- Scarring and adhesions around pelvic structures.
- Bowel or urinary symptoms when these organs are involved.
Why Choose Surgery for Endometriosis?
Laparoscopic surgery is considered the gold standard to both diagnose and treat endometriosis, and it is the most effective way to remove the disease. As an experienced surgeon for endometriosis, Dr. Sunil Eshwar may recommend surgery if:
- You have severe pain despite painkillers, or need painkillers for a long duration.
- Your pain affects your quality of life and normal activities.
- You have a "chocolate cyst" (endometrioma) within the ovary.
- Your fertility specialist has advised surgery to improve the chances of natural conception or successful IVF Treatment.
- You have bowel, bladder or other organ symptoms likely caused by severe endometriosis.
Alternatives to Surgery
Medical treatment is usually offered to women with mild endometriosis or small endometriomas (less than 4 cm), and it is a reasonable first-line option to relieve symptoms. However, medicines do not remove endometriosis, so symptoms and fertility problems tend to return once treatment is stopped. Options include:
- Simple analgesics: such as paracetamol and other NSAIDs.
- Hormone treatments: such as the progesterone pill and oral contraceptive pill.
- Mirena: an intrauterine device that slowly releases the hormone levonorgestrel.
Hormonal treatments and Mirena are not suitable for women who are trying to get pregnant.
Minimally Invasive Surgery & Recovery
Compared with open surgery, laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery means less pain and scarring, an earlier return to routine activity and faster recovery. Full recovery can take around 2–3 weeks, depending on the extent of the endometriosis and the complexity of the surgery. Our operating theatres at our Facilities support precise, tissue-sparing surgery, and an initial Diagnostic Laparoscopy can confirm the extent of the disease. For women with fertility issues, the chances of conceiving naturally are higher after surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions
Dr. Sunil Eshwar is a leading laparoscopic gynecologist and endometriosis surgeon in Bangalore, offering accurate diagnosis, personalised treatment plans and minimally invasive surgery that aims to relieve pain and preserve fertility.
Surgery is advised if you have severe pain despite painkillers, a chocolate cyst, bowel or bladder symptoms, or if your fertility specialist recommends it to improve the chances of natural conception or IVF success.
Mild endometriosis or small endometriomas (under 4 cm) can be managed with painkillers, hormone pills or Mirena. These ease symptoms but do not remove the disease, and they are not suitable if you are trying to get pregnant.
Most women recover faster than with open surgery, with less pain and scarring. Full recovery can take around 2–3 weeks, depending on the extent of the endometriosis and the complexity of the surgery.
Women with fertility issues are more likely to conceive naturally after surgery. If you still have difficulty, options such as ovulation induction with IUI or IVF can be discussed with our specialists.
