Patient's question:
I have had secondary dysmenorrhea for 6 years, with pain that varies in intensity. During my period, I experience a heavy feeling and pain in the rectum. They said it might be endometriosis, but I haven't seen a doctor yet.Test results: None.
History of treatment and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help I am looking for: I want to know the chances of getting pregnant for patients with endometriosis or adenomyosis, and how it should be treated.
Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis, although it often leads to infertility, some women can still get pregnant. If you have been trying to conceive for a period of time (such as about 1 year) without success, or if the tumor itself is relatively large (>5cm), surgical treatment can be considered. The best time to conceive after surgery is within the first year. It is recommended to undergo comprehensive treatment with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for overall conditioning. Treatment should be based on TCM's syndrome differentiation and treatment principles. Gynecological diseases cause significant interference to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to self-care, such as eating more vegetables and fruits and avoiding foods. It is hoped that gynecological patients can receive professional treatment.
