Endometriosis & Adenomyosis
Treating these conditions requires more than a quick diagnosis, it demands experienced specialists who truly understand the disease.
Fibroids
Fibroids are very common and, although rarely a medical danger, they can sometimes cause abnormal bleeding or compress adjacent organs, occasionally disrupting fertility or leading to pelvic pain.
Types of endometrial disease
While often grouped together, endometriosis and adenomyosis require distinct surgical and medical strategies.
Understanding their differences is the first step toward effective treatment.
Endometriosis & Adenomyosis
Occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus (on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic ligaments, bowel, and elsewhere).
Fibroids
Occurs when this tissue infiltrates the muscular wall of the uterus (the myometrium), often causing the uterus to enlarge, become painful, and cause abnormal bleeding.
Understanding your symptoms
While often grouped together, endometriosis and adenomyosis require distinct surgical and medical strategies.
Understanding their differences is the first step toward effective treatment.
Severe period pain
Cramps that are so intense they keep you from work, school, or your daily life (dysmenorrhea).
Painful intimacy
Deep aching or sharp pain during or after sex (dyspareunia).
Heavy bleeding
Periods that are unusually heavy or last for a long time.
Ongoing pelvic pain
Persistent aching or discomfort in your lower belly or back, even when you aren't on your period.

Surgery is not always the first step. We surround you with a multidisciplinary team to manage your symptoms medically and holistically. Depending on your unique needs, we collaborate with:
Medical specialists
Trusted digestive surgeons (gastroenterology), urologists, and fertility experts.
Pain & Hormone management
We help you explore hormonal treatments and can guide you to specialized pain management centers for targeted medications and psychological support.

We integrate paramedical care like specialized physiotherapy, osteopathy, and acupuncture, to support your everyday comfort and post-surgery recovery.
Exploring your surgical options
When conservative treatments are no longer effective, minimally invasive surgery offers the most precise and less painful solution. Thanks to robotic-assisted surgery, it allows us to optimally remove endometriosis lesions while preserving healthy tissue and fertility whenever possible and desired.
