Patient's question:

The best treatment for endometriosis
What are the best methods to treat endometriosis? I have had this disease for several years, the main symptoms are abdominal pain during and after menstruation, lower back pain. I need the most effective treatment. What kind of help is needed: What are the treatments for endometriosis

Doctor's answer:

Surgical treatment is the primary method for endometriosis, as it can basically clarify the scope and nature of the lesions under laparoscopic visualization. It is effective in alleviating pain and improving fertility, with a relatively short course of treatment. This is particularly beneficial for severe cases with extensive fibrosis and dense adhesions where medication is less effective. For larger ovarian endometriomas that do not respond to medication, surgery may preserve functional ovarian tissue. Surgical procedures can be categorized into three types: conservative surgery, semi-radical surgery, and radical surgery.
