Patient's question:
I noticed pain inside the vagina when I had sex with my husband last week. This month, when I had my period, I found that it was abnormally heavy and continued to flow without stopping. The menstrual cramps were also very severe.What kind of assistance is needed: What is endometriosis in women?
Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis refers to the presence of endometrial tissue in locations outside the uterine cavity, also known as adenomyosis. During sexual intercourse, patients may experience abdominal pain, and during menstruation, blood clots may be expelled. In some cases, severe dysmenorrhea may occur, possibly caused by endometritis. In such situations, it is necessary to promptly visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination to diagnose the cause and then provide targeted treatment.
