When is surgery considered necessary for chronic gynecological conditions?
Surgery is usually considered when medical treatments fail to alleviate symptoms or when the condition severely impacts the patient’s quality of life. For endometriosis, laparoscopic surgery is often performed to remove endometrial tissue. In cases of large fibroids or severe chronic pelvic pain, myomectomy or hysterectomy may be recommended. The choice of surgery depends on the patient's symptoms, age, and desire for future fertility.
