Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What are the causes of endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
During the menstrual period, menstrual blood can flow back through the fallopian tubes into the abdominal cavity, causing the spread of endometrial tissue within the abdomen. Endometrial fragments in the retrograde blood adhere and infiltrate the peritoneal mesothelium, surviving and growing after gaining blood supply. The occurrence of endometriosis not only affects the patient's physical health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo routine examinations in the gynecology department of a hospital, identify the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
