Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation accompanied by severe dysmenorrhea has been ongoing since I was about 17 years old until now. Is endometriosis harmful to patients?Doctor's answer:
Hazards include:1. Dysmenorrhea and persistent lower abdominal pain.
2. Menstrual disorders.
3. Infertility.
4. Dyspareunia (pain during intercourse).
5. Other specific symptoms.
In rare cases, patients may experience recurrent cyclical (menstrual period) hematuria (blood in urine), urinary urgency, urinary frequency, hematuria, and pain at surgical scars due to endometriosis invading the digestive tract, urinary tract, and surgical scars.
If endometriosis symptoms recur, there is no need to panic. Early diagnosis and treatment at a reputable and professional hospital can completely cure the condition. In daily life, women can also take preventive measures for endometriosis, such as paying attention to menstrual cycle changes and maintaining a healthy diet.
