Patient's question:
How is endometriosis treated, is it severe?Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Endometriosis:1. Medication:
- Ovulation-inhibiting drugs such as danazol, norethisterone, gossypol, and GnRH agonists.
- Ovulation-suppressing drugs such as Funing Pian (medroxyprogesterone), Fuke Pian (norethisterone), and Puwei La (hydroxyprogesterone acetate).
- For severe pain, medications like flurbiprofen, indomethacin, ibuprofen, and Keferlan can be used.
2. Surgical Treatment:
- There are two types: conservative surgery and radical surgery.
- Young patients or those who still need to preserve fertility can undergo cystectomy and lesion resection, which are conservative surgeries.
- For those who no longer wish to have children, total hysterectomy and lesion resection can be performed, with one or both ovaries preserved. Postoperative medication helps reduce recurrence rates.
- Women near menopause can undergo radical surgery, including total hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, salpingectomy, and lesion resection, to prevent recurrence.
