Patient's question:
I used to frequently experience menstrual cramps, and then I also had stomach pain. I went to a pet hospital for diagnosis, and the professionals confirmed that I had endometriosis. However, after giving birth to a baby, this condition was relieved. I want to ask what endometriosis means?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis may be caused by the improper flow of menstrual blood, leading some fragments of the endometrium to travel through the fallopian tubes to other organs with menstrual blood. Although these endometrial fragments shed, they do not completely lose vitality. Therefore, when they reach other organs, they can grow on them, while also changing according to hormonal fluctuations. When the endometrium sheds or peels, due to the inability to receive normal blood supply, it accumulates locally, forming endometriosis nodules or cysts. The main symptoms of endometriosis are menstrual pain, sexual pain, and infertility. It can be treated with medication combined with medical care, or patients can choose laparoscopic surgery at the hospital. This surgery has minimal trauma and a relatively significant effect.
