1 in 10 women are at risk: Watch out for endometriosis!

Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist Dr. Tuncer Kumcular issued an important warning, stating that endometriosis, which affects approximately 1 in 10 women, can lead to severe pain, infertility, and a significant decrease in quality of life. Kumcular said, "Severe menstrual pain is not normal. In such cases, consulting your doctor can provide the opportunity for early intervention."

BE CAREFUL ABOUT TISSUE GROWING OUTSIDE THE UTERUS

Surgeon Dr. Tuncer Kumcular of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic explained that endometriosis occurs when the endometrial tissue lining the uterus grows outside the uterus. Kumcular emphasized that the symptoms of this disease are often overlooked, saying:

Problems such as severe menstrual pain, chronic groin pain, pain during intercourse, pain during urination or defecation, and infertility may occur. These symptoms are important clues for early diagnosis. Early diagnosis is crucial for preventing the disease from progressing.

GOLD STANDARD IN TREATMENT: LAPAROSCOPY

Dr. Kumcular, noting that there are various methods for treating endometriosis, said, "Painkillers, hormone treatments, and surgical interventions can be used. Laparoscopic surgery is currently the gold standard treatment method. This method can reduce the effects of the disease."

“YOUR HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING”

Kumcular emphasized that women should not accept their pain as “normal,” and continued:

Severe menstrual pain is not normal. By consulting your doctor, you can get early intervention. Remember, your health comes first. Therefore, don't postpone your complaints.
