Patient's question:
I've been divorced for five years and have never been pregnant. I've been particularly anxious lately. Over the past two years, I've also developed irregular menstruation. Every time I have my period, it's excruciatingly painful. The hospital's thorough examination revealed endometriosis, and they recommended a combined surgery of the uterus and abdomen. I looked into it and found that this surgery costs nearly 10,000 yuan. Due to financial constraints, I haven't been able to have it done. What are the symptoms of endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis refers to the presence of functional endometrial tissue in locations other than the lining of the uterine cavity. Endometriosis can directly lead to infertility. Currently, surgical treatment is an effective approach, allowing for definitive diagnosis, excluding malignancy, and long-term experimental treatment is unreliable. Resecting the lesions while minimizing damage to the ovaries and increasing postoperative adhesion can be combined with adhesion reduction to completely restore anatomical integrity, aiding early pregnancy. It can also alleviate symptoms and increase the likelihood of recurrence. In addition to symptomatic treatment for gynecological diseases, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
