Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the dietary restrictions after uterine adenomyosis surgery?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis of the uterus is a benign lesion caused by the invasion of the endometrium into the uterine muscle layer. If the patient is young and the symptoms are mild, observation and symptomatic treatment can be performed. Progestogens, androgens, gossypol, and other medications can alleviate symptoms. For severe symptoms or when fertility preservation is not required, a hysterectomy can be performed while preserving the ovaries as much as possible. If pelvic endometriosis is also present, efforts should be made to remove the lesions while preserving ovarian function, allowing the patient to naturally transition into menopause. For those seeking fertility, hormone therapy for 6 to 12 months can be used, with the hope of achieving short-term conception after stopping the medication. If discovered during surgical exploration, consideration should be given to removing the adenomyoma while preserving the uterus.
