Patient's question:
A woman is 23 years old this year, and her mental state has not been very good recently. Then she found out she was sick. Please ask: What are the symptoms of endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
Specifically, the symptoms that reappear can vary depending on the location of endometrial implantation. The most common sites for endometrial implantation are within the pelvic cavity. For example, if the endometrium implants in the ovaries, it can form chocolate cysts. Since the ectopic endometrium also sheds cyclically, when the chocolate cysts grow to a certain size, they may rupture, leading to acute abdomen. If the ectopic site is the ligaments or the rectouterine pouch, patients may experience recurrent dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain. This can also lead to severe pelvic adhesions in the future, potentially causing tubal obstruction and resulting in infertility. It is recommended that treatment be implemented promptly.
