Patient's question:
The doctor wants to ask how to relieve endometriosis. I am 24 years old, but I have always had menstrual pain, and my cycle is also irregular. During intimacy with my boyfriend, it also hurts inside. According to the information I read, it seems to be endometriosis. I am very worried that it will interfere with having children in the future. I hope the doctor can help me.Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrium grows in other parts of your body. It follows the same cyclical shedding as your menstrual cycle, and over time, the displaced endometrium can form dense, fibrous cysts. Some cysts may gradually resolve on their own, but if they don't, further surgery may be needed to alleviate the condition. In some cases, medication can also be used to manage the symptoms.
