Patient's question:
Am I suffering from endometriosis? Blood test CA125 and vaginal ultrasound did not indicate endometriosis, but hysteroscopy revealed endometriosis. Is it true? Will it interfere with the dish getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis occurs in other pelvic locations, such as the most common sites of implantation like ligaments or the rectouterine pouch. This can lead to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), dyspareunia (pain during intercourse), and chronic pelvic pain. It can also cause severe pelvic adhesions, potentially leading to fallopian tube blockage and resulting in infertility.When endometriosis is present in the intestines, it may cause cyclic abdominal pain, diarrhea, or even cyclic hematuria (periodic blood in urine). If endometriosis affects the bladder or ureters, it can cause corresponding urinary system symptoms. Additionally, when endometriosis is located in the respiratory tract, cyclic hemoptysis (periodic coughing up blood) may occur.
