Endometriosis

Group for the Study and Treatment of Endometriosis (GETE)

This is the clinical investigation for the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis employing individualized criteria. Its aims are:

  • To provide assisted fertilization techniques and monitoring of patients suffering from sterility. To apply minimally invasive and conservative surgery, with laparoscopy and appropriate medical treatment.
  • To provide support for women in such circumstances and particularly for those suffering from endometriosis.
  • To make women aware of early diagnosis by campaigns in the media.

This group is based in the Gynecological Clinic at Centro Médico Teknon Outpatients Department. Its professional activity is structured around multidisciplinary programmes devised and performed by the team, thereby ensuring a high degree of specialization and medical attention of the highest professional standards, as well as covering the basic requirements of this disease, such as endoscopic surgery, in vitro fertilization techniques, diagnosis by imaging and psychotherapeutic support.

  • Endometriosis is a benign process characterized by the presence and proliferation of endometrial tissue that is normally found within the uterus, in other different areas outside of this cavity. There are different types:

    • Ovarian endometriosis: in the ovaries, giving rise to quite large size cysts - endometriomas. These contain a dark brown fluid, which accounts for their name of "chocolate cysts".
    • Recto-vaginal septum endometriosis: appears in the recto-vaginal space, the tissue found between the rectum and the vagina. Deep and very active.
    • Peritoneal endometriosis: affects the peritoneum, the tissue covering the internal organs. It frequently adopts different forms; reddish or brown-coloured patches or small cysts of a dark blue colour. These cysts are often found in the posterior wall of the uterus, but they can also occur in the bladder or intestines.
  • En el transcurso del tiempo, las recomendaciones para el tratamiento de la endometriosis han variado de forma importante. Desde los clásicos calmantes y anti-inflamatorios, pasando por la histerectomía radical con exéresis de ambos ovarios, hacia un tratamiento médico-quirúrgico más conservador, basado en la cirugía mínimamente invasiva por video-laparoscopia, intentando mantener los ovarios siempre que sea posible, puesto que es la fuente de feminidad por excelencia. Quitar los ovarios a una mujer joven es reducirla a un estado de menopausia.

    Las distintas maneras de sufrir la endometriosis hace que las mujeres de modo individual y mediante consulta con su ginecólogo decidan la terapéutica más adecuada a su caso.
