Patient's question:
Because I have had irregular menstruation from four years ago to now, it has become even worse this year. I get 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, and it looks similar to uterine fibroids on color ultrasound, but it can be differentiated. Generally, endometriosis nodules gradually decrease in size, and with each menstrual cycle, they tend to break and shrink. While fibroids also shrink, the degree of shrinkage is never as significant. When endometriosis reaches a certain extent, it can be detected on color ultrasound. Additionally, fibroids are more common. Of course, it is also possible to have both conditions simultaneously.
