Patient's question:
After cohabitation, during that month, ovulation bleeding lasted for about ten days. An ultrasound revealed echo masses in the uterine cavity. After the menstrual period, a follow-up ultrasound showed that they had disappeared, and it was reported that the left ovary was enlarged. A few days after the next menstrual period, there was extremely minimal spotting again. An ultrasound was done, and it was diagnosed as endometriosis. What kind of assistance is needed: What are the symptoms of endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms and signs of endometriosis vary depending on the location of the ectopic endometrium and are closely related to the menstrual cycle. General symptoms include dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, infertility, dyspareunia, rectal fullness, and urinary symptoms such as cyclical urinary frequency and dysuria. When the bladder mucosa is affected, recurrent cyclical hematuria may occur. Endometriosis in abdominal scars and the umbilicus may present with cyclical localized masses and pain.
