Patient's question:
I am 29 years old this year. In recent months, my menstruation has been very irregular, and the amount is extremely heavy. During my pre-marital examination, the doctor said I had mild endometriosis. I would like to have another check-up. I wonder if a color Doppler ultrasound can detect it carefully. I want to ask the doctor if a color Doppler ultrasound can carefully detect endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is primarily characterized by dysmenorrhea that progressively worsens. Common forms of endometriosis include adenomyosis and chocolate cysts. A gynecological color Doppler ultrasound is usually sufficient for diagnosis. You haven't had your period for the past few months, and the amount of blood flow is quite heavy, which is likely to be uterine fibroids. It is recommended to visit a hospital promptly for gynecological color Doppler ultrasound and other thorough examinations to determine the specific gynecological condition.
