Patient's question:
I've been married for over a year, and I've never taken any contraceptive measures, but I haven't been able to get pregnant yet. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and they said I have endometriosis. I'd like to understand more specifically what endometriosis is? Can this condition lead to infertility?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is a disease caused by the implantation of endometrial tissue in places other than the uterine cavity. Endometriosis can lead to infertility and requires early treatment. It is recommended that you visit a large hospital's gynecology department for a thorough examination and treatment as soon as possible. Pay attention to your diet in daily life, avoid excessively cold and spicy foods, and refrain from sexual activity during menstruation. In fact, having a gynecological disease is not frightening. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is timely in the early stages, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
