How is endometriosis treated after diagnosis?

Patient's question:

But except for the relatively large wound and scraped area of the nail bed, the scab wasn't subjected to a pathological examination. However, during yesterday's follow-up, the doctor mentioned that a pathological examination is necessary for a diagnosis. If endometriosis is diagnosed, how should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

It refers to the endometrium, which is normally supposed to grow in the innermost layer of the uterus, but abnormally grows outside the endometrium. The main symptoms of endometriosis in clinical diagnosis are menstrual pain, infertility, and dyspareunia. Endometriosis is also one of the most complex diseases in gynecology, and it is often challenging for gynecologists to treat because it is the most difficult to cure. It can cause adhesions, spread, and easily recur after treatment. Due to unclear etiology, all medications for endometriosis are indirect treatments.
