Patient's question:
The sides of the lower abdomen and the lumbosacral region have been painful for over a year since last year. The pain is more noticeable when sitting or bending over. Director Guo examined it and said there are tender nodules on the uterosacral area. No surgery is needed, and he recommended taking birth control pills.Doctor's answer:
This is generally suspected to be endometriosis, with only mild dysmenorrhea or no symptoms, and does not correlate with infertility or pelvic masses. For patients who are suspected of having endometriosis only because of tender small nodules found on the posterior wall of the uterus or the uterosacral ligaments during a gynecological examination, regular follow-up is sufficient. If infertility is present, surgical treatment may be considered. The occurrence of endometriosis not only affects the patient's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
