Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 26 years old this year, and I have been married for two years. We have been unable to conceive since getting married, so I went to the hospital for a check-up recently. The doctor said it might be endometriosis and that surgery might be necessary! So I want to know if endometriosis must be treated with surgery? Is there a more conservative treatment option?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many reasons that can lead to infertility. It is recommended to go to the hospital for pre-pregnancy tests to check if the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, if the uterus is developing normally, if ovulation is normal, and so on. The male partner also needs to go to the hospital to have a full semen analysis to check if the semen volume, sperm viability, and motility are normal. If everything is normal, the chances of pregnancy are higher when having intercourse during the ovulation period. Endometriosis not only affects the patient's health but also leads to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the perineal skin clean.
