Patient's question:
I have endometriosis, lower back pain when my period comes. Onset time and cause: Three months. How is endometriosis treated?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, the endometrium covers the uterine cavity. However, if, due to certain factors, the endometrium grows in other parts of the body, it can lead to endometriosis. This ectopic endometrium, in terms of histology, not only has endometrial glands but also endometrial stroma surrounding it. Functionally, it shows significant changes with estrogen levels, varying with the menstrual cycle, but only partially affected by progesterone, which can produce only a small amount of "menstruation" and bring about various clinical diagnostic phenomena. Statistics show that about 70% of patients with endometriosis have typical secondary dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia or sexual pain, infertility, and changes in menstruation.
