Patient's question:
I also don't know what's going on. Usually, I don't have menstrual cramps, and my periods are normal, but I just can't get pregnant. Then, after some thorough tests, it was said that I have endometriosis. How can endometriosis be treated?Doctor's answer:
The etiology of endometriosis may be related to the retrograde flow of endometrial cells during menstruation, where these cells travel through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity, implant themselves in the ovaries and adjacent pelvic peritoneum, and grow and spread in these locations, forming pelvic endometriosis, also known as the retrograde menstruation theory. Additionally, endometriosis may also be associated with hereditary factors, autoimmune responses, inflammation, and other factors. The treatment plan for endometriosis varies depending on the severity of the condition, the patient's age, and their fertility status.
