Patient's question:
These past few months, I have frequently experienced pain during intercourse, and my menstrual flow has also been larger than usual. The bleeding has been continuous and prolonged, and I have been suffering from dysmenorrhea. After a thorough examination, the doctor informed me that these are symptoms of endometriosis.What kind of assistance is needed: What exactly is endometriosis?
Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrium grows outside the uterine cavity. It causes pain that recurs with the menstrual cycle. Endometriosis can also interfere with normal conception, so it is recommended to undergo surgery after diagnosis and use medication to prevent recurrence after treatment. It is advisable to have an ultrasound and hysteroscopy examination at the hospital to identify the issue and then consider targeted medication and treatment.
