Effective Endometriosis Treatment in Austell, GA

At Cobb Women’s Health, we understand that endometriosis can affect every woman differently, and our team is dedicated to helping you find relief with a treatment plan that fits your unique needs. Endometriosis symptoms can often be managed without surgery, particularly in mild cases or when the symptoms are less severe.

Hormonal treatments or other forms of hormone therapy are commonly used to regulate or suppress menstruation. These treatments can help reduce pain and inflammation by preventing the endometrial tissue from responding to the menstrual cycle. Additionally, over-the-counter pain relievers can be effective in managing pain and discomfort.

Lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes, stress management techniques, and physical therapy, may also provide relief from endometriosis symptoms. These non-surgical treatments can significantly improve the quality of life for many individuals. However, in cases where symptoms persist or worsen, surgical options might be considered. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on the severity of the condition.

At Cobb Women’s Health, board-certified gynecologists Dr. Nandita Mainthia, MD, FACOG, and Dr. Hitendra Hansalia, MD, FACOG, believe in a comprehensive approach to care. We work closely with you to develop a personalized management plan and monitor your progress. Early diagnosis and tailored symptom management can make a significant difference in your daily comfort and overall well-being.

We understand how deeply endometriosis can impact your quality of life. Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, often affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs. This tissue behaves like the uterine lining, responding to hormonal changes each month by thickening, breaking down, and attempting to shed. However, unlike menstrual blood, this tissue has no way to exit the body, causing inflammation, swelling, and the formation of painful scar tissue.

As a result, many people with endometriosis experience heavier, longer, and more painful periods than usual. Common symptoms include severe menstrual cramps, pelvic pain that may radiate to the lower back or legs, and spotting or bleeding between periods. Over time, inflammation and scarring can disrupt normal ovarian and fallopian tube function, which can lead to irregular cycles, ovulation issues, or even infertility.

At Cobb Women’s Health, our experienced team is dedicated to diagnosing and managing endometriosis so you can regain control over your menstrual health. We offer comprehensive evaluation, advanced imaging, and personalized treatment plans—including minimally invasive surgery, and ongoing support. Together, we can help you find relief and improve your overall well-being.

You should see a doctor if you suspect you have endometriosis, especially if your symptoms are severe, getting worse, or interfering with your daily life. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the condition and prevent it from progressing.

Here are some key symptoms to look out for:

• Painful periods: This is a very common symptom. While some discomfort is normal, severe, debilitating cramps that worsen over time are not.

• Chronic pelvic pain: You may experience persistent pain in your lower back or pelvis that isn’t limited to your menstrual cycle.

• Pain during or after sex.

• Pain with bowel movements or urination: This is often more noticeable during your period.

• Heavy periods or bleeding between periods.

• Infertility

• Other symptoms: You might also have digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or diarrhea, as well as fatigue.

It’s important to remember that the severity of your symptoms doesn’t always correlate with the extent of the disease. Some women with mild endometriosis have severe pain, while others with advanced endometriosis have few to no symptoms. Early consultation is particularly important if you are trying to conceive, as endometriosis can impact fertility. Even if your symptoms are mild, talking to a healthcare provider at Cobb Women’s Health can help identify the underlying cause, manage symptoms, and prevent potential complications.

We understand how challenging living with endometriosis can be. Birth control can help manage endometriosis symptoms by regulating hormonal fluctuations that contribute to the growth and shedding of endometrial tissue outside the uterus.

Hormonal birth control methods, such as IUD, can reduce or eliminate menstrual periods, which in turn decreases the bleeding, inflammation, and pain associated with endometriosis. These methods work by suppressing ovulation and stabilizing hormone levels, thus preventing the tissue from responding to the usual menstrual cycle changes that lead to pain. By controlling these hormonal fluctuations, birth control can provide significant relief from the painful symptoms of endometriosis.
