Patient's question:
Hello, I am 30 years old and have had a cesarean section. Currently, there is a lump inside the incision site, and it hurts when pressed. It didn't hurt before. Last year, I had a laparoscopic surgery, and after the surgery, pain started to occur. An ultrasound showed nodules inside, and it was diagnosed as endometriosis. The doctor recommended surgery. I want to know if medication can cure it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometriosis refers to a gynecological disease where endometrium with growth function grows and multiplies outside the uterine lining. It is a major cause of infertility and is primarily characterized by dysmenorrhea, heavy menstrual bleeding, infertility, pain during intercourse, and difficult bowel movements. Medications such as danazol and norethisterone can be used for treatment. Surgical treatment is the main method for endometriosis.
