Gynaecological surgery

Endometriosis
in Marseille

Dr. Yasmine Maazouzi provides personalised, evidence-based management for endometriosis at the Private Hospital Beauregard in Marseille — from diagnosis to surgical treatment and fertility support.

Understanding endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological condition affecting approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. It occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining (endometrium) grows outside the uterus — on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder or intestines — causing inflammation and scarring.

The perimenopause analogy aside, endometriosis is often diagnosed late — an average of 7 years after symptoms begin. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment significantly improve quality of life and fertility outcomes.

What are the symptoms?

✓ Intense period pain (dysmenorrhoea)
✓ Chronic pelvic pain between periods
✓ Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
✓ Heavy or irregular periods
✓ Digestive or urinary symptoms during periods
✓ Difficulty conceiving (infertility)
✓ Chronic fatigue
✓ Pain during bowel movements or urination

What are the treatment options?

Medical treatment

  • • Hormonal therapy: progestins, combined pill, GnRH agonists
  • • Analgesics and anti-inflammatories for pain management
  • • Personalised protocol based on symptoms and fertility goals

Laparoscopic surgery

  • • Excision or ablation of endometriotic lesions
  • • Removal of ovarian endometriomas (endometriotic cysts)
  • • Mini-invasive approach: faster recovery, smaller scars

Fertility support

  • • Assessment of ovarian reserve (AMH)
  • • Coordination with ART (IVF) specialists if needed
  • • Surgical optimisation before assisted reproduction
