Patient's question:
I've been experiencing severe menstrual cramps recently. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor told me I have endometriosis. I'm not sure if this condition will interfere with my fertility plan for this year. Where is the most commonly affected area by endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis refers to a common gynecological disease in women where active endometrial cells are implanted outside the uterine lining. Its common symptoms include dysmenorrhea, pain during intercourse, menstrual abnormalities, and infertility. The most commonly affected areas of endometriosis are mostly pelvic organs and the peritoneum, with the ovaries and uterosacral ligaments being the most frequent sites. Maintaining a good routine and increasing physical exercise can enhance the body's resistance and immunity.
