Currently, medication (Gestrinone) has been taken for four months, and there has been no pain during this period.
Desired assistance: What nursing care is needed on a daily basis? What will the situation be like after taking the medication for half a year?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the occurrence of endometriosis, many patients rely on medication. Experts remind that this can only provide temporary symptom relief. At the same time, due to long-term medication, almost all drugs have adverse reactions, which may cause patients to experience early menopause, osteoporosis, and may also damage the skin and liver. The efficacy of medication alone is uncertain, and it may also lead to masculine tendencies. Before treatment, it is important to make a clear diagnosis and consider the patient's age, fertility requirements, the severity of the condition, symptoms, and the extent of the lesions, taking a comprehensive approach. Treatment options include medication, surgery, and traditional Chinese medicine. You will need to come to the hospital for an examination first to determine the specific treatment plan.
