Endometriosis Diagnosis and Treatment: Expert Care with Dr. Anna M Wagner
Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects many women, causing pain, heavy periods, and sometimes infertility. Dr. Anna M Wagner, a highly qualified and experienced gynaecologist, offers comprehensive care for the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. With a personalized approach and the latest medical treatments, we aim to effectively manage symptoms and improve your quality of life.
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) is found outside the uterus.
This often affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining.
This can lead to inflammation, pain, and scarring, causing significant discomfort and complications if left untreated.
Common Symptoms of Endometriosis:
- Severe pelvic pain, especially before and during menstruation
- Pain during intercourse or bowel movements
- Fatigue, diarrhoea, constipation, or bloating
- Difficulty conceiving or infertility
Diagnosis and Treatment of Endometriosis
What to Expect During Your Consultation?
Dr. Wagner will begin with a thorough discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and any previous treatments. A physical examination and additional diagnostic tests, such as ultrasound or laparoscopy, may be recommended to confirm the presence and severity of endometriosis.
Diagnosis and Treatment Options for Endometriosis
Managing endometriosis involves both accurate diagnosis and a combination of treatments.
This helps reduce symptoms, prevent complications, and preserve fertility if needed.
Dr. Anna M Wagner offers a range of treatment options tailored to your specific needs.
Diagnostic Tools
- Ultrasound: While ultrasound may not always provide a definitive diagnosis of endometriosis, it can help identify cysts and abnormalities related to the condition.
- Endo Test:
The Endo Test is a ground-breaking, non-invasive diagnostic tool designed to detect endometriosis early through a saliva-based test. Using advanced genomic technology, the test analyses microRNA profiles that are specific to endometriosis. The Endo Test allows for a quick and accurate diagnosis without the need for invasive procedures like surgery. - Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat endometriosis. Dr. Wagner may recommend laparoscopy to confirm the extent of endometrial growth and remove any visible lesions.
Treatment Options
- Medication: Pain relief through non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or hormonal therapies, such as birth control pills or oral GnRH agonists, can help alleviate symptoms and slow the progression of endometriosis.
- Surgical Treatment: For more severe cases, Dr. Wagner may recommend laparoscopic surgery to remove or destroy endometrial tissue and adhesions, providing long-term symptom relief.
- Fertility Support: If endometriosis affects your fertility, Dr. Wagner can offer treatments and referrals to fertility specialists to support your reproductive goals.
- Lifestyle and Self-Care Advice: In addition to medical treatments, Dr. Wagner offers advice on lifestyle changes, including diet, exercise, and stress management, which can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being.

With expert care from Dr. Anna M Wagner, women can achieve better control of their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
