Patient's question:
Hello, I am 36 years old. In October 2005, an ultrasound examination revealed that the uterus was enlarged and deformed, with a low-echo area of 7MM6MM in the posterior wall muscle layer. Now, I experience severe menstrual pain every month. Some doctors have suggested removing the uterus. What surgeries are available for uterine removal? Which hospitals in Guangzhou can perform this procedure, and what is the approximate cost?Doctor's answer:
Surgery is the primary method for treating endometriosis because it allows for a clear identification of the extent and nature of the lesions under direct visualization, offering effective relief from pain and promoting fertility. The treatment course is relatively short, especially for severe cases where fibrosis is prominent and adhesions are dense, making medication less effective. For larger ovarian endometriomas that do not respond to medication, surgery may still preserve functional ovarian tissue. Surgical approaches can be categorized into three types: conservative surgery, semi-radical surgery, and radical surgery.
