Patient's question:
Menstruating with blood cough, it has happened 4 times already. Each time, a small amount of blood is coughed up. I have been to the throat department and the internal medicine department, and there were no problems found. A chest X-ray was also taken, and the doctor said there were no abnormalities. Can it be diagnosed as endometriosis? If so, what are some good treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the current situation, it is not possible to identify the specific cause, because the examination methods for endometriosis are: 1. B-mode magnetic resonance imaging, which helps understand ovarian endometriosis and its size, and occasionally can detect masses that cannot be palpated during pelvic examination. 2. Laparoscopic examination, which can directly observe the affected areas, the extent and severity of inflammation, and is currently the most reliable method for diagnosing endometriosis. 3. Laparotomy exploration, which can be performed when laparoscopy is not available or successful, and the diagnosis is not clear.
