Patient's question:
Can endometriosis be cured? Hello! Can endometriosis be cured?Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Endometriosis:1. Medication: Hormonal treatments such as danazol, norethisterone, gossypol, and GnRH agonists; progestin treatments such as Fei Ning Pian (medroxyprogesterone), Fu Kang Pian (norethisterone acetate), and Pu Wei La (chlormadinone acetate). For severe pain, medications like flurbiprofen, indomethacin, ibuprofen, and Ke Fu Lan can be used.
2. Surgical Treatment: There are two types of surgical treatment—conservative surgery and radical surgery. Young patients or those who still wish to preserve fertility may undergo conservative surgery, such as cystectomy and lesion resection. For those who no longer wish to have children, total hysterectomy and lesion resection can be performed, with one or both ovaries preserved. Post-surgery, medication can be supplemented to reduce recurrence rates. For women near menopause, radical surgery such as total hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, salpingectomy, and lesion resection can be performed to prevent recurrence.
Advice: It is recommended to seek treatment for endometriosis as soon as it is detected, as endometriosis can cause severe menstrual cramps that progressively worsen. Additionally, endometriosis may lead to infertility.
