Patient's question:
Hello! Endometriosis, will it still hurt after surgery? If it does hurt, what's the reason? Is it because the surgery wasn't successful? First follow-up question: I've had the surgery for four months, and it only started hurting this month. I don't know if it's related to my diet.Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis is caused by the implantation of endometrium in locations outside the uterus. It typically manifests as pain symptoms that occur with the menstrual cycle. Currently, the best treatment is surgical intervention after identifying the affected areas. The recurrence rate is lower after surgery, and a radical procedure involves the complete removal of the uterine appendages. However, the choice of this surgery should be determined based on the patient's age and condition. It is recommended that patients undergo regular follow-up examinations after surgery, engage in regular exercise, and boost their immune system to prevent recurrence.
