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. What are the causes of endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is a gynecological disease caused by the growth of the endometrium in any location outside the uterine cavity. For example, it can occur in the ovaries, the sacrospinous ligaments of the uterus, the posterior serosal layer of the lower uterine segment, the rectouterine pouch, and the pelvic peritoneum of the sigmoid colon. It can also recur within the uterine muscle layer, so in clinical diagnosis, endometriosis is divided into extrinsic endometriosis and intrinsic endometriosis. Patients often present with infertility, dysmenorrhea, and pelvic pain for follow-up. The infertility rate in endometriosis patients is around 40%. The relationship between this condition and infertility has been noted in clinical diagnosis, and it is believed that endometriosis is one of the main causes of infertility.
