When you are overwhelmed by the pain that comes unannounced every month, or when you are troubled by a late pregnancy after marriage, or when you are annoyed by the pain and discomfort you feel during intercourse, then it is necessary to get checked by an experienced gynecologist, and often you will be told that you have the possibility of endometriosis. Endometriosis (endometriosis) is when endometrial tissues, which originally belong inside the uterus, run outside the uterus. They can be scattered on the surface of the abdominal cavity or peritoneum, or they may grow inside the ovaries (called chocolate cysts) or uterus (called myometriosis). These ectopic endometrial tissues can also flake off and bleed during physiological periods, hurting the surrounding tissues. The condition gradually worsens as long as there is hormone production by the ovarian tissue. The main clinical symptoms of endometriosis are progressive dysmenorrhea, infertility and painful intercourse, three problems that penetrate into women’s daily life and even affect the quality of their marriage. Due to its lingering and recurrent course, it causes great pain and economic burden to the fertility and physical and mental health of women of reproductive age. According to statistical data, the incidence of endometriosis has accounted for about 10% of women of childbearing age. However, what can women do? It is only by living with this benign but annoying chronic disease. Reducing the frequency of ovulation can reduce the proliferation of endometriotic tissue. Pregnancy is the most natural way to get pregnant, and choosing the right form of contraception can also serve the purpose. Short-acting oral contraceptives can suppress ovulation and inhibit the proliferation of the endometrium. However, the pill is not suitable for women who are obese, smoke and have liver disease, so discuss with your doctor to make a decision. The Manned Birth Control Ring is a special intrauterine device with progestin, which inhibits the growth of the endometrium and has some therapeutic effect on endometriosis. However, there may be complications with menstrual dripping and amenorrhea, so you need to consult your doctor before using it. It is very important to use good contraception, and women must try to have as few abortions and scrapings as possible. A large amount of endometrial tissue shed during abortion flows through the fallopian tubes into the pelvis and can easily be locally implanted, causing endometriosis. During menstruation, all intense sports and heavy physical labor should be prohibited, and sexual intercourse must be eliminated. For post-operative patients with endometriosis, it is often necessary to continue medication after surgery because of its high recurrence rate of nearly 50%. Depending on the condition and the surgeon’s recommendation, oral contraceptives or the Mannedra birth control ring may be used. For particularly severe cases, treatment with injections of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists for several months is often also required first. Although endometriosis is a very common gynecologic condition, different doctors have different training or expertise, and specialists in endometriosis can be sought through referrals from family doctors or friends and relatives. An experienced physician can provide a professional, person-specific and appropriate treatment plan to maintain the patient’s optimal fertility and reduce symptoms and recurrence of the disease, in addition to removing the disease.
