Patient's question:
Since childhood, I have experienced menstrual cramps. Now, after being married for three years, I still haven't successfully conceived. The examination revealed endometriosis. Is this condition treatable? How should endometriosis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis refers to a condition where the thickness of a woman's endometrium exceeds 8 millimeters, which is considered endometriosis. The endometrium needs to reach a certain thickness to ensure it does not affect a woman's menstrual cycle and to facilitate the implantation of a fertilized egg. Elevated prostaglandins can affect the maturation of follicles and trigger luteal phase deficiency, thereby impacting ovulation and implantation. Endometriosis can cause the follicles in a woman's ovaries to fail to ovulate, making it easy for infertility to occur. It is recommended that patients seek medical treatment promptly. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
