Endometriosis · Berlin-Wilmersdorf
Endometriosis in Everyday Life
Pain that arrives with the menstrual cycle and does not always leave with it can shape work, sleep, intimacy and recovery. At the conSenso® Practice in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, we support patients when endometriosis is felt not only in medical findings, but throughout everyday life.
Endometriosis can be felt in very different ways. Severe period pain, chronic pelvic pain, pain during sexual intercourse and bowel or bladder symptoms may be part of the picture, as can bloating, nausea and exhaustion.
The focus is on the symptoms and burdens that may accompany the condition. Existing gynaecological findings and ongoing treatments are included.
Pain may be particularly strong before or during menstruation. For some patients, however, it continues between periods as well.
It may be felt in the lower abdomen, pelvis, back or groin and radiate into the legs. Movement, work, sleep and recovery can be considerably affected.
Endometriosis may be associated with pain during bowel movements or urination, bloating, pressure in the pelvis or pain during sexual intercourse.
A pelvic floor that cannot release well, a sensitive abdominal wall or a persistently tense back may also shape the overall pattern of symptoms.
Body and Emotional Strain
Persistent or recurring pain can alter sleep, movement, intimacy and trust in one’s own body.
Some patients become more cautious, hold tension unconsciously or anticipate a renewed deterioration before the next menstruation. Exhaustion, anxiety and the feeling of being governed by one’s own body may also develop.
Physical and emotional burdens may be considered together without prematurely explaining the symptoms as psychological.
After laparoscopy or endometriosis surgery, scars, feelings of pressure or pulling and altered sensation in the abdomen and pelvis may remain.
Even when the procedure was medically successful, the body may need time before it feels familiar and mobile again.
When endometriosis and fertility concerns come together, physical symptoms, examinations, treatment, hope and disappointment can become closely intertwined.
Our support can be integrated into ongoing gynaecological or reproductive-medicine treatment.
conSenso® Practice 1 · Wilmersdorf
Support for endometriosis takes place at conSenso® Practice 1, Pfalzburger Straße 43, in Berlin-Wilmersdorf.
The course of symptoms over the cycle, previous procedures, bowel or bladder symptoms, exhaustion and fertility concerns can be considered together in a calm setting without parallel practice activity.
Complimentary introductory consultation
In the free personal consultation, you can describe when symptoms occur during the cycle, what remains between periods and which diagnostics or operations have already taken place.
Fertility concerns, exhaustion and the effects on everyday life or intimacy can also be discussed if they are important to you.
