Patient's question:
Because I have had irregular menstruation from four years ago until now, it has gotten worse this year. I have stomach pain every few days, and then it breaks out for no reason. My menstrual period is also long, and my stomach hurts a lot. It is said that it is endometriosis. I would like to ask how to treat endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
Because when endometriosis occurs, it can also be within the uterine muscle layer, with slight local abrasion, appearing similar to uterine fibroids on color Doppler ultrasound, but it can be differentiated. Generally, endometriosis nodules gradually decrease in size, and with each menstrual cycle, there is local abrasion, leading to further reduction. While fibroids also decrease in size, the reduction is never as significant. When endometriosis reaches a certain extent, it can be detected on color Doppler ultrasound. Additionally, fibroids are more common. Of course, it is also possible to have both conditions simultaneously.
