Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery before the New Year, and recently found out I have endometriosis, about the size of a soybean, located in the sacral area. I previously had menstrual cramps, but they weren't very severe, and my menstrual cycle was normal. The doctor prescribed me three months of triptorelin capsules, and I have already taken three. After reading the instructions, I found that the side effects are very significant. Because I am now 30 and have always been eager to have children.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are generally quite a few treatment methods for endometriosis. First, the reason for poor fetal development is still related to the issue of the fertilized egg, which is a congenital problem or influenced by external factors, and it is not closely related to endometriosis. The triptorelin capsule is a progestogen, not a contraceptive pill, but taking this medication can lead to some menopausal symptoms, such as amenorrhea, sweating, suspicion, and irritability. The diagnosis of endometriosis requires surgery for confirmation. If your symptoms are still tolerable, you might try to have children, as pregnancy can also be a form of treatment. Generally, oral triptorelin is taken for 3-6 months, but the treatment effect is not absolute, as it depends on individual sensitivity to hormones.
