Bangalore, India– For millions of women, endometriosis is a hidden battle—one that often goes undiagnosed, misunderstood, and untreated. Characterized by chronic pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, painful intercourse, and infertility, endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 10 women of reproductive age globally. Yet, the average time to diagnosis can stretch up to 7–10 years, leaving countless women to suffer in silence. Dr. Usha B. R, a pioneering obstetrician and gynecologist in Jayanagar, Bangalore, is determined to change that narrative through awareness, advanced diagnostics, and cutting-edge surgical interventions that prioritize precision and patient recovery.
As a leading gynecologist in Jayanagar, Bangalore, Dr. Usha B. R has made it her mission to transform how endometriosis is treated. Through her practice at Usha Specialty Clinic, she employs minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgical techniques to provide definitive relief for women struggling with this complex condition. “Endometriosis is more than just painful periods—it’s a chronic disease that can severely impact a woman’s quality of life and fertility. Women deserve timely diagnosis and treatment that actually works,” explains Dr. Usha. “We’re moving beyond just managing symptoms. With robotic-assisted surgery, we are offering women a real chance at long-term relief.”
Data from the World Health Organization shows that approximately 190 million women worldwide are affected by endometriosis. In India, awareness is particularly low, with many cases dismissed as “normal period pain.” As a result, women often cycle through painkillers, hormonal therapies, or multiple ineffective surgeries. Dr. Usha emphasizes that the turning point lies in early intervention combined with advanced technology. “With robotic-assisted techniques, we can detect and remove endometriotic lesions with extraordinary precision, even from hard-to-reach areas like the bowel, bladder, or diaphragm. This reduces recurrence rates and supports fertility preservation,” she adds.
Robotic-assisted surgery, which utilizes 3D visualization and micro-instruments, allows surgeons enhanced control compared to conventional laparoscopy. The result is less bleeding, minimal scarring, and a significantly faster recovery. “Our patients are often surprised at how quickly they’re able to return to normal activities,” says Dr. Usha. “Some are even walking the same day, with less reliance on pain medications and fewer postoperative complications.”
One such patient, 34-year-old Meenakshi (name changed for privacy), came to Usha Specialty Clinic after struggling for years with debilitating pelvic pain and failed fertility treatments. Imaging revealed severe endometriosis involving both ovaries and deep pelvic adhesions. Dr. Usha performed a robotic-assisted excision of the disease, carefully preserving Meenakshi’s reproductive organs. Just eight months later, Meenakshi conceived naturally and is now in her second trimester. “I had lost hope. No one could tell me what was wrong. Dr. Usha gave me answers, treated the root cause, and now, I’m expecting my first child. It feels like a miracle,” Meenakshi shares.
Such stories highlight the strength of the personalized care model followed at Usha Specialty Clinic. Each patient receives a tailored treatment plan, beginning with thorough diagnostic evaluations and extending into long-term recovery support, fertility guidance, and hormonal balance strategies. “Endometriosis is not a one-size-fits-all disease. That’s why personalized care is critical. We listen to our patients, understand their pain, and walk with them every step of the way,” says Dr. Usha.
The clinic also integrates Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, which focus on early mobilization, minimal narcotic use, and improved surgical outcomes. “By combining technology with the ERAS approach, we’re not just treating a condition—we’re restoring lives,” Dr. Usha adds.
According to a 2022 study published in The Lancet, nearly 40% of women with endometriosis face fertility issues, and surgical excision significantly improves pregnancy rates in these cases. As a fertility specialist, Dr. Usha works closely with patients looking to conceive, offering interventions that are both reproductive-friendly and disease-modifying.
With growing awareness and access to better technology, Dr. Usha believes the tide is turning. “It’s time we stop telling women their pain is normal. It's not. Early diagnosis and advanced surgical treatment can make all the difference. Our goal is to ensure no woman has to suffer silently anymore.”
Dr. Usha B. R’s dedication, combined with the advanced capabilities of Usha Specialty Clinic, has made her a beacon of hope for women in Bangalore and beyond. By breaking the silence surrounding endometriosis and offering world-class care, she is not only improving outcomes—but also changing lives.
