Patient's question:
Two days before my period is supposed to come, I've already started experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's so severe that I break out in cold sweat, and I'm very angry. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it's endometriosis, which may lead to infertility, so I'm very worried now. How is endometriosis formed?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis can lead to infertility, menstrual disorders, and dyspareunia. Adenomyosis primarily manifests with uniform shrinkage of the uterus during gynecological examination, poor uterine contraction, prolonged menstruation, and continuously increasing menstrual flow. Ultrasound can help differentiate these conditions. It is recommended to seek examination and treatment at a local authoritative and reputable hospital. Timely medical consultation and thorough diagnosis are essential. Treatment options depend on specific circumstances, often involving estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy. Surgery may also be considered when necessary.
