You’ve had surgery for endometriosis — maybe even more than once. Yet, the pain returns. You wonder if something went wrong, or worse, if this is how life will always be.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many women come to me at my Mumbai endometriosis centre after multiple surgeries elsewhere — frustrated, anxious, and searching for real answers.

The truth is: it’s not your fault. Endometriosis is a complex disease. The key to lasting relief lies not in another surgery, but in finding the right surgical approach — one that removes the disease completely while preserving your organs and fertility.

The Truth About Persistent Pain After Surgery

Pain after endometriosis surgery can happen for several reasons. Sometimes, the disease wasn’t completely excised (removed from its root). Other times, nerves and fascia continue to react to years of inflammation and scarring.

Even advanced imaging can miss deep or hidden lesions. That’s why many women — despite undergoing laparoscopic surgery — don’t feel better afterwards.

Persistent pain doesn’t mean your body failed. It often means the disease wasn’t fully addressed.

What the Right Surgeon Does Differently

Endometriosis isn’t just a gynecological problem. It’s a multi-system disease that can affect the bowel, bladder, nerves, and surrounding fascia. That’s why treatment success depends on the depth of surgical skill and anatomical understanding.

At my centre in Mumbai, I perform advanced laparoscopic excision surgery — a meticulous approach designed to remove every trace of endometriotic tissue while protecting healthy structures.

Every Surgery is Planned With:

• High-resolution MRI and expert ultrasound to map lesions precisely
• Multidisciplinary support (urology, colorectal, and pain specialists when needed)
• Tissue-preserving techniques to protect fertility and organ function
• Gentle tissue handling to reduce adhesions and recurrence risk

Over the years, I’ve seen hundreds of women who were told “nothing more can be done” — finally find complete relief once their disease was fully excised.

“Surgery is not just about removing tissue — it’s about restoring function and hope.”
— Dr. Vivek Salunke

Real Healing Goes Beyond the Operation

True recovery isn’t just about what happens in the operating theatre. It’s about how your body — and mind — heal afterwards.

Post-Surgery Support Includes:

• Pelvic physiotherapy for mobility and pain relief
• Anti-inflammatory nutritional guidance
• Psychological and emotional support

Healing from endometriosis isn’t only about removing the disease — it’s about restoring your quality of life.

Signs You May Need a Specialist Review

You might benefit from a second opinion if you experience:

• Persistent pelvic or lower back pain after surgery
• Painful periods, intercourse, urination, or bowel movements
• Bloating or digestive issues that fluctuate with your cycle
• Recurrence of pain months after surgery

If you’ve heard “it’s just period pain” or “this is normal,” don’t settle. A specialist review could be the turning point in your journey.

Mild discomfort for a few weeks is expected, but persistent or recurring pain months later may indicate incomplete excision or missed lesions.

With complete excision by an experienced specialist, recurrence rates are significantly lower than conventional laparoscopy.
