Patient's question:
What kind of careful examination can detect endometriosis? I have had menstrual pain for over ten years and have given birth to a child. Every time I have my period, the pain is unbearable. Multiple careful ultrasound examinations have not shown any abnormalities, but now I am wondering if I might have endometriosis.Doctor's answer:
Due to the different locations of endometrial implants, the symptoms vary greatly. A very small number of patients may be asymptomatic. Common symptoms include: dysmenorrhea, menstrual disorders, infertility, etc. If there is suspicion of endometriosis, tests such as ultrasound, laparoscopy, and laparotomy can be performed. Women with gynecological conditions can take medication according to their symptoms while using folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge drink.
