Patient's question:
Cesarean section has been three years now. There are bumps on the scar from the period, and they hurt when touched. What is the reason?Doctor's answer:
It is suspected that your condition is endometriosis. During surgery, since the uterus was incised, the surgical knife would adhere to fragmented endometrial tissue. The endometrium would then be implanted at the incision site, leading to endometrial implantation. As the menstrual cycle progresses, pain may recur. This situation requires treatment, such as using triptorelin or danazol to suppress menstruation, causing the implanted endometrium to lose blood supply and swell, leading to suppuration. This serves the purpose of treatment.Recommendation: You may consult a doctor at the hospital to confirm if it is endometriosis before undergoing treatment.
