Patient's question:
I had an ultrasound during the health check-up at our company's alliance. The doctor questioned whether I might have endometriosis. The doctor recommended that I go to the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis. How is endometriosis diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is the recurrence, growth, and infiltration of endometrial tissue in locations outside the uterine cavity, where the endometrium is normally present, leading to repeated bleeding and subsequently causing pain, infertility, and the formation of nodules or masses.Recommendation: Based on your condition, it is recommended that you undergo a systematic and thorough examination at a hospital. Initial tests may include ultrasound, pelvic CT, MRI, serum CA125, and laparoscopic examination. Specific tests should be recommended based on your particular circumstances.
