Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can women with endometriosis get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is exactly what it sounds like – the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, particularly in conditions like your chocolate cysts in the ovaries and adenomyosis of the uterus. The main symptoms include progressive dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), irregular menstrual cycles, and can also affect the normal menopause. It can impact future fertility. Follow your doctor's guidance for treatment. If the results are not satisfactory, surgery may be considered.
