Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation, less menstrual flow, accompanied by lower back pain, excessive white discharge, after a thorough examination at the hospital, the diagnosis was endometriosis. How is endometriosis treated?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is a common disease of the female reproductive organs and a leading cause of chronic illness in women. The primary treatment is hormonal therapy, and surgery is used when hormonal therapy is ineffective or the condition is severe. Although these methods have a certain therapeutic effect, the recurrence rate is high, and long-term outcomes remain unsatisfactory. Surgical treatment is divided into conservative surgery and radical surgery. For young patients like you who still need to preserve fertility, conservative surgery is recommended. Once endometriosis is detected, early treatment is advised because endometriosis can cause menstrual pain and may also lead to infertility. During treatment, it is important to ensure both physical and mental well-being and to avoid excessive psychological stress.
