Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of endometriosis? Is it serious? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometriosis. If it occurs within the uterine muscle layer, it can lead to adenomyosis or adenomyoma of the uterus. If it occurs in the ovaries, it can result in chocolate cysts of the ovaries. It can also occur in the pelvic cavity and vagina, among other locations. It may cause cyclical abdominal pain, accompanied by dysmenorrhea during menstruation. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment takes a holistic approach, practicing syndrome differentiation and treatment, aiming to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, soften and resolve hard masses, and comprehensively regulate the endocrine system to promote the smooth flow of Qi and blood. Currently, the external application of ointments like the "Xiaoyao Xiaomo Tiao Jing Piao" (Ointment for Dissolving Membranes and Regulating Menstruation) is considered an effective method. Treating internal diseases externally can achieve the goal of recovery.
