3 Benefits of Quickly Diagnosing and Treating Endometriosis

If you are experiencing unexplained infertility and pelvic pain, it may be time to seek treatment for endometriosis. Fertility specialists can diagnose endometriosis and offer treatments to help you start a family and restore your quality of life. At MyReceptiva, we offer BCL6 tests that identify whether endometrial tissue may be present outside of the uterus and lead to quick diagnostic results. Here are some of the benefits of getting a diagnosis and starting endometriosis treatment:

1. Pain Management

An endometriosis diagnosis with MyReceptiva’s BCL6 test enables your doctor to create a personalized pain management plan. This plan may involve hormone therapy in the form of birth control and progesterone medications. These treatments help regulate the hormones that cause endometrial tissue to grow outside the womb, potentially resulting in fewer growths. Some doctors may recommend removing the tissue growths to reduce your pain. They perform a minimally invasive laparoscopy procedure to identify and remove the tissue. After recovery, you should notice less pelvic pain.

2. Fertility

Quickly diagnosing and treating endometriosis prevents the condition from spreading and blocking the fallopian tubes. This allows the egg to move from the ovary to the fallopian tube, increasing the chances of fertilization. The condition can also affect egg quality, and hormonal therapies aim to reduce tissue inflammation to improve egg development and health.

Hormone treatments may also improve the regularity of ovulation, allowing your body to release healthy eggs more frequently. Progesterone treatments prevent endometrial tissue from growing outside the uterus and encourage healthy tissue growth inside the womb to support implantation. Successful implantation in a thickened uterine lining enables an embryo to grow and develop.

3. Quality of Life

Receiving a diagnosis with the help of our BCL6 test allows you to explore treatment options that reduce your pain levels and improve your quality of life. This allows you to perform daily tasks and participate in physical activities more comfortably. A diagnosis may reduce your stress about your health, giving you answers for your unexplained infertility and pain. This allows you to focus more on treatment and recovery. Noticeable treatment results may contribute to improved emotional and mental well-being.

Seek Diagnosis and Treatment for Endometriosis

MyReceptiva offers endometriosis detection tests that identify the presence of the BCL6 protein markers. High levels of BCL6 in the uterine lining indicate the presence of endometrial tissue growths that may need to be removed surgically. If you have pelvic pain or unexplained infertility, a BCL6 test may help you receive a diagnosis. Ask your women’s health doctor about getting a uterine lining biopsy during your next appointment. Take your MyReceptiva collection kit to your appointment to allow your provider to send the biopsy to our lab. We will assess the sample and send your results to your doctor within 7-10 days. Your doctor will then evaluate your test results, communicate them to you, offer a diagnosis, and explain the next steps in your endometriosis treatment.
