Patient's question:
Hello, could you please explain what endometriosis is?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is caused by poor menstrual flow, where many fragments of the endometrium follow the menstrual blood through the fallopian tubes and flow back to other tissues. Endometriosis is neither an inflammation nor a tumor, but it does have characteristics of malignant tumors, such as fibrosis, infiltration, spread, and even metastasis. The main symptoms of endometriosis are dysmenorrhea, pain during intercourse, and infertility. It is recommended to use Guiling Xiaoliu Wan in combination with dysmenorrhea pills for treatment. You can also consider undergoing laparoscopic surgery at a formal hospital, as this procedure has minimal trauma and a relatively good therapeutic effect.
