Endometriosis Fulguration

What Is Endometriosis Fulguration?

Endometriosis fulguration is a minimally invasive procedure that removes endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus. This tissue can cause pain, inflammation, and scarring. During fulguration, a surgeon uses specialized instruments, through laparoscopy, to target the abnormal tissue, reducing pain and improving quality of life. Fulguration may be recommended when endometriosis symptoms persist despite medication, or when fertility concerns are present.

Why You Might Benefit from Endometriosis Fulguration

Although some women manage endometriosis with lifestyle changes or hormonal therapies, surgical care may be an option if you:

• Experience chronic pelvic pain that impacts daily activities
• Have painful menstrual cycles or pain during intercourse
• Face fertility challenges linked to endometriosis
• Have not found relief from medications or other treatments
• Are seeking a long-term reduction in symptoms and improved quality of life
