Patient's question:
If I have endometriosis, how should I be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of endometriosis should be determined based on the patient's age, symptoms, the location and extent of inflammation, as well as recommendations for fertility. It aims to go beyond merely reducing and removing lesions, alleviating and controlling pain, treating and enhancing fertility, and preventing and increasing the occurrence of the disease. Lesions can be removed through surgical means, or the condition can be managed with medication. For women preparing for pregnancy, medication should be avoided, and early pregnancy should be encouraged as soon as possible. This is because once pregnant, the ectopic endometrial lesions may become purulent and expand, and symptoms will alleviate after childbirth, with the condition expected to resolve on its own in the near future.
