Patient's question:
Painful menstruation for over 10 years, married for 3 years without pregnancy, checked in multiple hospitals and said to have endometriosisDoctor's answer:
Hello! Currently, Western medicine primarily adopts conservative treatment and surgical methods. Conservative treatment often involves pseudopregnancy or pseudomenopause therapies, such as danazol, tamoxifen, norethisterone, and promethazine, which artificially induce the cessation of menstruation to create a pseudopregnant state. Without menstruation, there is no dysmenorrhea. However, these medications have significant side effects and can cause certain damage to the liver and kidneys. Some patients may stop taking the medication before their condition is fully cured due to these side effects. After stopping the medication, menstruation will resume, and the condition generally continues to worsen.
