Patient's question:
I am 43 years old. During an ultrasound, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I took one course of Sanjie Zhentong capsules, but it was ineffective; the pain became even worse than before. I had another ultrasound, and the result showed adenomyosis combined with endometriosis, with the possibility of uterine fibroids. My CA125 test result was 122.30. I experience occasional mild pain in the right inguinal area, about 10 minutes apart, accompanied by right waist and right thigh pain. Should I focus on taking medication or have my uterus removed? What are the risks of removing the uterus with symptoms like these?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the effect of taking medication to treat endometriosis is not very good, let alone the recurrence of uterine adenomyoma. If the uterus is removed, there are surgical risks, and menopause may occur prematurely. It is recommended that you do not need to worry. As for how to undergo surgery, it is up to you to decide, because this is not an indication for hysterectomy. Gynecological diseases are difficult to relieve. Friends suffering from this disease should maintain a positive attitude and face it with a proactive mindset. Only in this way can they reduce the confidence to fight gynecological diseases and believe that they can definitely recover.
