Patient's question:
EndometriosisDoctor's answer:
Treatment of Endometriosis:1. Medication Therapy:
- Ovulation-inhibiting drugs such as Danazol, Norethisterone, Gossypol, and GnRH agonists.
- Proliferation-inhibiting drugs such as Wuniing Tablets (Medroxyprogesterone), Fuke Tablets (Norethisterone), and Puvira (Progesterone).
- For severe pain, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Flurbiprofen, Indomethacin, Advil, and Keferan may be used.
2. Surgical Therapy:
- Surgical treatment is divided into conservative 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 patients 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.
