Patient's question:
I start experiencing lower abdominal pain two days before my period, and it's so severe that I break out in cold sweat. I'm very angry about it. When I went to the hospital, the doctor said it's endometriosis, which may lead to infertility, so I'm very worried now. I want to know what are the symptoms and consequences of endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
1. The ectopic endometrium affects a wider area and can infiltrate the peritoneum of the pelvic cavity, the ligaments suspending the uterus, the bladder, the rectum, as well as the greater omentum, appendix, small intestine, abdominal wall incisions, and even extend to organs such as the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, lungs, chest cavity, limb muscles, and bones. There are also recurrent ectopic lesions within the greater vestibular glands. Sometimes the fallopian tube wall may also be affected, often making it difficult to distinguish from chronic salpingitis.2. It is recommended to seek examination and treatment at a local top-tier Grade III hospital or an authoritative hospital of higher grade. There is a ring that can be used to treat endometriosis, and the treatment is usually very effective.
