Patient's question:
I don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Could you please tell me how to have a thorough examination for endometriosis at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis has two Western medical treatment methods: surgery and medication.1. Medication: The primary approach is oral hormone therapy, specifically pseudopregnancy and pseudomenopause therapy, which artificially induces amenorrhea and menopause. This can lead to certain side effects, causing damage to liver and kidney function. Additionally, the recurrence rate is very high once the medication is stopped. Moreover, stopping the medication can lead to a rebound effect. For example, with menstrual pain, it may become more severe after discontinuing the medication. In some cases, ovarian cysts may even grow faster than before treatment.
2. Surgery: The goal is to preserve fertility while removing only the endometriotic lesions and nodules, restoring the normal anatomical and physiological functions of the body.
