Patient's question:
A baby born 20 years ago, I didn't go for a follow-up check-up at 42 days because of family matters. I have never felt any discomfort in my body. Recently, during a health check organized by my workplace, I was found to have endometriosis. What is endometriosis? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial tissue growing and developing in places other than the uterine body is called endometriosis. In recent years, its incidence has been increasing, making it a common gynecological disease and one of the main causes of infertility. Clinical diagnosis often manifests as progressively worsening dysmenorrhea, infertility, or even sexual pain. Surgical treatment for endometriosis typically has three approaches: surgery that preserves fertility, surgery that preserves ovarian function, and radical surgery. In fact, having a gynecological disease is not something to be feared. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
