Patient's question:
Recently, I have had abnormal leukorrhea, and my period hasn't come either. I feel completely drained. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it's endometriosis. I don't even know how I got this disease. I'm looking for a good treatment method and would appreciate any assistance: How is endometriosis treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of endometriosis can be achieved through medication, which helps alleviate the condition. Surgical treatment is divided into two types: conservative surgery and radical surgery. For young patients or those who still need to preserve their fertility, procedures such as cystectomy and lesion resection are considered conservative surgeries; for those who no longer wish to conceive, total hysterectomy and lesion resection can be performed while preserving one or both ovaries, followed by postoperative medication, which results in a lower recurrence rate. Women near menopause can undergo radical surgery, including total hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, salpingectomy, and lesion resection, to prevent recurrence.
