Patient's question:
EndometriosisDoctor's answer:
Treatment of Endometriosis:1. Medication:
- Ovarian suppression drugs such as Danazol, Norethisterone, Gossypol, and GnRH agonists.
- Pseudopregnancy drugs such as Funing Pian (Megestrol), Fuke Pian (Norethisterone), and Puvwela (Medroxyprogesterone).
- For severe pain, medications like Flurbiprofen, Indomethacin, Advil, and Keferan 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, preserving one or both ovaries. Postoperative medication can reduce recurrence rates.
- Women near menopause can undergo radical surgery, including total hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, salpingectomy, and lesion resection, to prevent recurrence.
