Patient's question:
My girlfriend has very severe menstrual cramps, and every time she has her period, she feels completely overwhelmed. She needs to catch up on her lessons. Later, I took her to the hospital, and the doctor said it was endometriosis. What is endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis refers to the condition where the endometrium, which should normally grow inside the uterus, implants in other parts of the body, including the uterine muscle layer, ovaries, fallopian tubes, abdominal wall, and other areas. The most classic symptom is progressively worsening menstrual pain. Some patients may also experience prolonged menstrual bleeding and cysts near the ovaries. If the menstrual pain is very severe, it is indeed necessary to consider the possibility of endometriosis. Maintaining a good routine and increasing physical exercise can enhance the body's resistance and immunity.
