How long does it take to treat endometriosis?

Patient's question:

I and my husband are planning to have a child. During the pre-pregnancy check-up, I was found to have endometriosis. How should this condition be treated? Can it be completely relieved with 100% certainty? If it can be fully relieved, how long will the treatment take?

Doctor's answer:

For endometriosis, it primarily refers to an inflammatory condition caused by the growth of endometrial tissue that covers other parts of the body outside the uterine cavity, which is lined with mucous membrane. Since the exact cause of this disease is not very clear, the treatment is generally based on the patient's age and fertility recommendations, in addition to the severity of symptoms. Conservative therapy or medication can be used, and surgery may be considered when necessary. However, even with active treatment, it is difficult to achieve complete remission. Specific guidance should be followed according to the advice of local doctors.
