Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have endometriosis. I heard from a friend that taking Chinese medicine for regulation is good. Can Chinese medicine treat female infertility and infertility in my case?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is a disease where functional endometrium reappears outside the uterine cavity, leading to abnormal pelvic environment in women. It commonly causes endometrioma of the ovaries, resulting in impaired ovarian function, luteal phase defect, and other issues. Therefore, women with endometriosis are prone to secondary infertility. Traditional Chinese medicine is not recommended for treating endometriosis. It is advised to visit a regular hospital for a thorough examination of the cause, followed by Western medical treatment, or consider IVF directly.
