Patient's question:
EndometriosisDoctor's answer:
Treatment of Endometriosis:1. Medication Therapy:
- Ovulation-inhibiting drugs such as Danazol, Norethisterone, Gossypol, and agonists of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH).
- Pseudopregnancy drugs such as Funing Pian (Megestrol), Fuke Pian (Norethisterone), and Puvira (Progesterone).
- For severe pain, medications like Flurbiprofen, Indomethacin, Fenbid, and Keferan can be used.
2. Surgical Therapy:
- There are two types of surgery: conservative surgery and radical surgery.
- Young patients or those who still need to preserve fertility can undergo cystectomy and lesion resection, which are considered conservative surgeries.
- For those who do not wish to have children, total hysterectomy and lesion resection can be performed, with one or both ovaries preserved. Postoperative medication can help reduce recurrence rates.
- Women near menopause may undergo radical surgery, including total hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, salpingectomy, and lesion resection, to prevent recurrence.
