Patient's question:
What is endometriosis? Is surgery necessary for it? Can endometriosis be treated with moxibustion?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is generally treatable with surgery, but it is not necessarily required. For those with severe and obvious pain during menstruation due to endometriosis, moxibustion can be applied to stabilize local blood circulation and enhance disease resistance and anti-infection capabilities. However, moxibustion is not a treatment method. The primary goal for endometriosis is to control menstrual periods and alleviate pain. Options include using an intrauterine device, medication, or surgical treatment.
