How is endometriosis treated?

Patient's question:

I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect my fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. How is endometriosis treated?

Doctor's answer:

Individualized surgical treatment is performed based on the specific condition of each patient. Whether laparoscopic surgery or open surgery is chosen depends on the operator's experience and skills, rather than solely on the stage of the patient's disease. Surgical treatment for endometriosis typically has three approaches: fertility-preserving surgery, ovarian function-preserving surgery, and radical surgery. The occurrence of endometriosis not only affects women's lives but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo routine examinations in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. It is also important to drink plenty of water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
