Treatment of Endometriosis Varies from Person to Person

 

 

Endometriosis is when the endometrial tissue, which is supposed to grow in the innermost layer of the uterus, grows abnormally outside the endometrial layer. Generally speaking, this kind of endometriosis grows in the wrong place, mainly in the pelvic tissues and organs. For example, they may be found in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterosacral ligament, rectovaginal septum, pelvic peritoneum, vagina, and within the myometrium of the cervix. It is often referred to as endometriosis.

 

The disease manifests differently depending on the location of the endometriosis. The most common symptoms are dysmenorrhea, infertility, and painful intercourse, three problems that penetrate a woman's daily life and even affect the quality of her marriage. About one-third of patients have varying degrees of dysmenorrhea, and the pain tends to increase year by year with the aggravation of the local lesion, the so-called rectal dysmenorrhea. 

 

Some patients may experience localized pelvic pain due to compression of the bowel, bladder or nerves, or complain of unpleasant sexual intercourse. It is especially evident in patients with ectopic lesions in the recto-uterine recess or those with a posteriorly fixed uterus due to lesions.

 

In addition, infertility is present in about 75% of patients. The cause of infertility is not well understood to date. In severe cases, it may be related to extensive adhesions of organs and tissues in the pelvis and diminished peristalsis of the fallopian tubes. The expulsion, uptake, and fertilization of the egg are affected. While in mild cases, it may be due to disturbance of the standard ovulation mechanism due to various causes.
