Patient's question:
Since childhood, I have suffered from menstrual cramps. Now that I have been married for three years, I still haven't been able to conceive successfully. The examination revealed endometriosis. Is this disease treatable? How should endometriosis be recovered from?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, the endometrium covers the uterine cavity. If, due to certain factors, the endometrium grows in other parts of the body, it can lead to endometriosis. This ectopic endometrium, both histologically and functionally, exhibits endometrial glands surrounded by endometrial stroma. Functionally, it shows significant changes with estrogen levels, varying with the menstrual cycle, but only partially under the influence of progesterone, producing only a small amount of menstruation and leading to various clinical manifestations. The treatment of endometriosis mainly includes drug therapy and surgical therapy. Depending on the patient's condition and fertility recommendations, the appropriate treatment method is determined.
