Patient's question:
Hello, I am an infertility patient. I have been treated locally for over 2 years. My menstrual cycle is normal every month, and tests including ultrasound of the uterus and ovaries have shown that they are both normal. I would like to consult about what other options I have for getting pregnant and what the chances are.Doctor's answer:
When the endometrial glands and stroma invade the uterine muscle layer, it is called adenomyosis. Previously, it was referred to as intrinsic endometriosis, while endometriosis outside the uterine muscle layer was termed extrinsic endometriosis to distinguish it. Treatment should be determined based on the patient's symptoms and age. If symptoms can be relieved after symptomatic treatment with indomethacin, naproxen, or ibuprofen, or if the patient is nearing menopause, conservative treatment can be adopted. Whether pregnancy occurs depends on the treatment outcome. If the patient has severe dysmenorrhea for a long time, a total hysterectomy should be performed, and whether the ovaries are preserved depends on the patient's age and whether there are any ovarian lesions.
