Is dysmenorrhea caused by endometriosis?

Patient's question:

I have severe pain every time I have my period, and I thought it was due to my personal constitution. But then I read in a book that menstrual cramps might be a symptom of endometriosis. Is it true that menstrual cramps are caused by endometriosis?

Doctor's answer:

The hospital experts explained, "Endometriosis" is the main culprit causing severe menstrual pain in women, ranking second among the causes of infertility. Once diagnosed, it is difficult to cure. After developing the condition, patients may develop black, viscous, and painful "chocolate cysts" in their ovaries. As the condition worsens, the cysts may rupture again, leading to uterine adhesion and affecting fertility. In addition to timely treatment for gynecological diseases, patients should always maintain a positive attitude in facing the illness. Only in this way can they enhance their immunity and the belief in fighting the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, primarily focusing on light foods and avoiding cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away gynecological diseases.
