Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How should endometriosis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When the endometrial glands and stroma infiltrate the uterine muscle layer, it is called adenomyosis. Previously, it was referred to as intrinsic endometriosis, while endometriosis outside the uterine muscle layer was termed extrinsic endometriosis to distinguish it. Treatment should be determined based on the patient's symptoms and age. If symptoms can be relieved after symptomatic treatment with indomethacin, naproxen, or ibuprofen, or if the patient is nearing menopause, conservative treatment can be adopted. If the patient has severe dysmenorrhea for a long time, a total hysterectomy should be performed. Whether the ovaries are preserved depends on the patient's age and whether the ovaries are inflamed. There are many treatment methods for gynecological diseases, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods used also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment after discovering symptoms.
