Patient's question:
I read in the materials that irregular menstruation, prolonged cycle, prolonged menstrual period, spotting before menstruation, and increasing cramps are symptoms of endometriosis. I have some of these conditions. Am I also suffering from endometriosis? It is said that endometriosis makes it difficult to conceive and poses significant harm to women. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrium grows on tissues or organs outside the uterine cavity, causing a series of abnormal symptoms. This ectopic endometrial tissue, for the most part, fluctuates with the cyclical changes of ovarian hormones, similar to normal endometrium, undergoing cell division, changes during the exfoliation period, and shedding. Endometriosis can recur in any part of the body. During the treatment of gynecological diseases, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. Patients must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of gynecological diseases.
