Patient's question:
I am 41 years old this year. How is endometrial odor syndrome treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Endometriosis:1. Medication:
- Ovulation-suppressing drugs such as Danazol, Norethisterone, Gossypol, and agonists of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH);
- Ovulation-inhibiting drugs such as Funing Pian (Megestrol), Fuke Pian (Norethisterone), and Puwei La (Progesterone).
- For severe pain, medications such as Flurbiprofen, Indomethacin, Advil, and Keferlan can be used.
2. Surgical Treatment:
- Surgical options include conservative surgery and radical surgery.
- Young patients or those who still need to preserve fertility can undergo cystectomy and lesion resection, which are considered 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 can reduce recurrence rates.
- Women near menopause may undergo radical surgery, including total hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, salpingectomy, and lesion resection, to prevent recurrence.
