How to Manage Endometriosis Pain Effectively — Gyneacologist for Endometriosis Pain Management in Costa del Sol

10/07/2025

Endometriosis affects about 1 in 10 women, but for something so widespread, it’s remarkable how often it gets dismissed or misdiagnosed. Many live with it for years before getting answers. If you’ve been dealing with chronic pelvic pain, intense periods, or painful sex, this could be the reason.

At Helicopteros Sanitarios Hospital in Costa del Sol, our gynecologist specializing in endometriosis pain management is focused on helping women understand what’s happening in their bodies and how to get relief that actually works.

Understanding Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus starts growing in places it doesn’t belong, like on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, or even the intestines. The problem is, this tissue still acts like uterine lining: it thickens and bleeds each cycle. But because there’s nowhere for the blood to go, it builds up, causing inflammation, pain, and often scar tissue over time.

Symptoms can be different for everyone. Some experience sharp, stabbing pain every month. Others feel a constant dull ache. The most common signs include:

Severe cramps that don’t respond to typical painkillers
Ongoing pelvic pain, not just during your period
Pain during or after sex
Low energy, even when you’re sleeping enough
Digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or diarrhea that flare up cyclically

Why This Pain Doesn’t Always Make Sense on a Scan

One of the most frustrating parts of endometriosis is that it often doesn’t show up on ultrasounds or other routine imaging. And the amount of pain someone feels isn’t always tied to how much tissue is growing or where it’s located. That’s why many women are told everything looks “normal” when clearly, something isn’t.

The only effective approach is one that’s built around the individual. At our hospital, the gynecologist works with you to understand your specific symptoms and how they affect your life. We focus on customized plans that address the real experience—not just what shows up on a report.

Treatment That Actually Helps

Managing endometriosis usually requires a mix of medical and lifestyle changes. There isn’t one answer that works for everyone, but with the right approach, the pain can be controlled.

Medical Options

Hormonal therapy: Medications like birth control, progestins, or GnRH agonists can help reduce or stop endometrial tissue growth.
Pain relief: NSAIDs such as ibuprofen can ease inflammation and cramps, though they’re often just one part of the plan.
Surgery: In some cases, laparoscopic surgery is used to remove lesions and scar tissue when other treatments aren’t enough.

Lifestyle Support

Diet: Some people find relief by cutting down on inflammatory foods—less red meat and dairy, more leafy greens, fish, and whole grains.
Movement: Gentle exercise like walking, swimming, or stretching helps reduce pelvic tension and keep circulation flowing.
Stress management: Chronic stress can make pain worse. Mindfulness, acupuncture, or even just regular therapy can help manage both physical and emotional symptoms.

At Helicopteros Sanitarios, we don’t use templates. Your treatment plan is based on your body, your cycle, and your symptoms. We monitor how your pain changes over time and adapt the plan as needed. This isn’t about managing one appointment, it’s about improving your quality of life long term.

Painful periods are not something you should have to push through. Chronic pelvic pain is not normal. If you've heard “this is just how it is” too many times, it’s time to get a second opinion from someone who takes it seriously.
