Patient's question:
Every time I get my period, I have menstrual cramps. Previously, painkillers worked well, but now nothing helps. Later, after a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out it's endometriosis. I'm only 29 years old, and I'm not divorced yet. I want to ask, what medication is best for endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis refers to the growth of the endometrium, the lining of the uterine cavity, in other locations. If it grows in the muscular layer, it is called adenomyosis. If it grows in the ovaries, it can form pelvic endometriosis, with chocolate cysts being one of its forms. The main symptoms include dysmenorrhea, which gradually worsens and is accompanied by increasing menstrual volume, shorter cycles, and in women of reproductive age, recurrent dyspareunia (pain during intercourse) and recurrent infertility. There are many causes of endometriosis. It is recommended that you seek further examination at a regular hospital to identify the underlying cause. Under the guidance of a doctor, symptomatic treatment should be implemented.
