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 can endometriosis be treated and relieved?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis has two Western medical treatment methods: surgery and medication.1. Medication treatment: The main approach is oral hormone therapy, which includes pseudopregnancy and pseudomenopause therapy. This involves artificially inducing menstruation cessation and menopause. However, this method can cause many side effects, including damage to liver and kidney function. Additionally, the recurrence rate is very high once the medication is stopped. Moreover, stopping the medication can lead to a rebound effect. For example, with menstrual pain, it may become even worse after discontinuing the medication. In some cases, ovarian cysts may grow faster than before medication.
2. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment includes conservative treatment, semi-conservative treatment, and conservative treatment.
