Patient's question:
Hello, I have endometriosis. I would like to ask if medication can cure it. I am 30 years old and have already given birth. My menstrual period lasts 3 to 5 days, with the second day being the longest. I experience menstrual cramps, the most severe lasting about 10 minutes. I do not have constipation or frequent urination, but I do have a sensation of rectal fullness. Intercourse is not very painful, but I do experience lower back pain. My uterus is in an anteverted position, with dimensions of 67mm x 37mm x 54mm.Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by cold deficiency, leading to menstrual cramps. During the menstrual period and its surrounding days, pain in the lower abdomen or lower back may occur, sometimes even extending to the lumbar-sacral region. The pain recurs with the menstrual cycle. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, profuse cold sweat, cold hands and feet, or even fainting. Acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage are methods that can be considered for treatment.
