Patient's question:
My friend suffers from endometriosis. It is said that this disease affects fertility. Could you please ask the doctor how to effectively treat endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis infertility is highly harmful to women, not only causing significant interference with their ability to conceive, but also leading to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, periodic rectal discomfort, menstrual irregularities, dyspareunia, and rectal fullness during defecation, disrupting women's daily lives. Surgical treatment is the primary method for endometriosis, as it allows for a clear determination of the scope and nature of the lesions under laparoscopic visualization, effectively alleviating pain and improving fertility. The treatment course is relatively short, especially for severe cases with extensive fibrosis and dense adhesions where medication is less effective. In cases of large ovarian endometriomas that do not respond to medication, surgery may preserve viable ovarian tissue.
