Patient's question:
Recently, my aunt has been feeling unwell and her menstrual cycle hasn't been normal either. Today, she went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it's likely that she has endometriosis. My aunt is very worried. What kind of assistance is needed: What are the treatment methods for endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for endometriosis include drug therapy and surgical therapy. Drug therapy generally involves the use of progestogens, goserelin, and gonadotropin drugs. Additionally, birth control pills and traditional Chinese medicine also have a certain therapeutic effect on endometriosis. Surgical therapy refers to the direct excision of the lesion, but postoperative drug therapy is also required to supplement and consolidate the therapeutic effect. During the treatment period, personal hygiene should be paid attention to, and underwear should be changed frequently.
