Patient's question:
I have had menstrual cramps since my period started, but they weren't severe enough to interfere with my survival, so I never had a thorough check-up. Now that I'm divorced and occasionally have sex with my husband again, I've experienced pain during intercourse. Additionally, since we're planning to have a child, we decided to have a thorough examination at the hospital. The doctor told me I have endometriosis, and I'm very worried. Can endometriosis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis primarily refers to active endometrial tissue implanting outside the uterine cavity, leading to re-implantation and growth. It is commonly found in the ovaries, but can also occur in the uterine muscle layer, deep pelvic areas, bladder, rectum, etc. The clinical manifestations vary depending on the location of the implants. Endometriosis can be treated with medication or surgery, but it is prone to recurrence. Maintaining a good routine and increasing physical exercise can enhance the body's resistance and immunity.
