Patient's question:
Does endometriosis prefer "white-collar" workers? Every time I have my period, it's excruciatingly painful, but I don't want to have my uterus removed. Later, I heard from a sister about a U-surgery that preserves the uterus. I didn't know much about it at first, nor did I know how it worked, but there was no other choice. After watching the explanation and seeing that it preserves the uterus, I felt it was a good option. Now, I'm preparing to have the surgery.Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis refers to the displacement of the endometrium from the uterine cavity to locations outside the uterus, commonly found in the cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, rectum, etc. This can affect women's menstrual cycles and also cause severe menstrual pain. Based on your age, you don't need a total hysterectomy now. Instead, a hysteroscopic surgery can be used to reposition the endometrium. After the surgery, you can choose to use traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as methods like intrauterine devices, for postoperative care and regulation.
