Patient's question:
I have always had the problem of dysmenorrhea, but I never took it seriously. During my period, I would just drink ginger tea and apply a warm water bag to my abdomen. However, after nearly a year of trying to conceive, I still haven't gotten pregnant. A thorough examination at the hospital revealed endometriosis. Hello, what are the causes of endometriosis? What kind of assistance do you need: The causes of endometriosisDoctor's answer:
Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrium grows outside the uterine lining. Its main symptom is dysmenorrhea. If the endometrium spreads to the ovaries, it forms chocolate cysts, which can interfere with menopause and hinder conception, requiring cyst removal as the primary treatment. The main cause is retrograde menstruation through the fallopian tubes into other positions, leading to implantation in the ovaries or adjacent pelvic peritoneum. The ectopic endometrium undergoes cyclical shedding under the influence of ovarian hormones, similar to normal menstruation.
