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 is endometriosis caused?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, the endometrium covers the uterine cavity. If, due to certain factors, the endometrium grows in other parts of the body, it can lead to endometriosis. This ectopic endometrium, both histologically and functionally, contains endometrial glands and stroma. Functionally, it shows significant changes with estrogen levels, varying with the menstrual cycle, but only partially affected by progesterone, which can produce only a small amount of "menstruation" and result in various clinical manifestations. It is recommended to undergo relevant examinations and diagnosis, followed by symptomatic treatment!
