Patient's question:
What are the hazards of endometriosis? Can you get pregnant again in the future?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the hazards of endometriosis can cause dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is a very common and prominent symptom, mostly secondary, meaning it starts from the onset of endometriosis. Often, dysmenorrhea is easily overlooked by women in daily life. Some women even take painkillers casually, which can cause significant harm to the body. It can also lead to increased menstrual flow: In cases of intrinsic endometriosis, menstrual flow often increases, and the menstrual period extends. This may be due to an increase in the endometrium, but it is often accompanied by ovary dysfunction. Therefore, women should pay attention to changes in menstrual flow during their period. It can cause pain during intercourse: Endometriosis occurring in the uterosacral pouch or rectovaginal septum causes surrounding tissue swelling, affecting sexual life, and exacerbating discomfort before menstruation. If pain during intercourse occurs, it should be taken seriously. It can lead to ectopic pregnancy: The ectopic endometrium can cause pelvic adhesions and fallopian tube dysfunction, making it difficult for the fertilized egg to implant locally, thereby increasing the risk of ectopic pregnancy. It can cause female infertility: If endometriosis develops into lesions, it can cause pelvic masses, fallopian tube adhesions, or blockages, which can lead to poor follicular development or ovulation disorders, ultimately resulting in female infertility.
