Doctor's answer:
Most patients with endometriosis primarily experience secondary dysmenorrhea as their main symptom, accompanied by progressive lower abdominal and back pain, often radiating to the legs. It cannot be said that they cannot get pregnant, but their infertility rate can be as high as 40%. The reasons for infertility in severe endometriosis patients may be related to changes in anatomical structures, as pelvic endometriosis often causes adhesions around the fallopian tubes, interfering with oocyte retrieval or leading to tubal obstruction, or induces infertility due to ovarian inflammation disrupting the normal onset of menopause.1. Before treatment, it is essential to confirm the diagnosis as much as possible, considering the patient's age, fertility advice, the severity of the condition, symptoms, and the extent of lesions. Hormonal or surgical treatments can be used, and traditional Chinese medicine can serve as a complementary therapy.
