Birth Control Pills for Endometriosis: Can women Take Them for a Long Time?

 

 

 

Due to the estrogen dependence of endometriosis, it has been found in recent years that the progesterone component contained in oral contraceptives can inhibit the patient's estrogen secretion, which is why patients with endometriosis can take birth control pills.

 

Endometriosis patients taking contraceptives can reduce their estrogen levels through the progesterone component, thereby inhibiting the growth of the endometrium and the ectopic endometrium. Oral birth control pills can relieve the symptoms of endometriosis, such as dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual flow, and also have a specific control effect on the condition of endometriosis in a short time.

 

However, this treatment is unsuitable for long-term use in patients with endometriosis. First, because these drugs cannot remove the endometriosis nodules in the pelvic cavity and ovary of the patient from the root, they can only temporarily relieve and control the condition of endometriosis, and they cannot completely cure endometriosis.

 

Secondly, due to the hormonal nature of oral contraceptives, long-term use will cause endocrine disorders in patients, resulting in side effects such as obesity, pigmentation, acne, and edema. It may even cause liver and kidney damage in patients.

 

For women with endometriosis, it is recommended to use the appropriate method for treatment according to the doctor's advice and to prepare for pregnancy after the treatment is completed. Pregnant women without treatment can go to the hospital for regular check-ups. If endometriosis recurs after delivery, they can be treated according to the doctor's recommendation.

 

Endometriosis treatment aims to reduce and eliminate lesions, relieve and relieve pain, improve and promote fertility, and reduce and avoid recurrence. Factors that should be considered in treatment are age, reproductive requirements, the severity of symptoms, the extent of lesions, previous treatment, and patient preference. 

 

The treatment measures should be standardized and individualized. The treatment of pelvic pain and pelvic mass during infertility should be treated separately. The treatment methods include surgical, drug, interventional, and assisted reproductive medicine.

 

For young women or women who need to preserve fertility, the first choice is to use drugs for treatment in strict accordance with doctor's orders. Fuyan Pill can eliminate pathological changes in gynecological tissues, regulate menstruation, eliminate pain, and treat female infertility caused by gynecological diseases and inflammation. Fuyan pill can be used to treat various diseases and can cure endometriosis very well! Second, conservative surgery can also be used to remove visible lesions and ovarian endometriosis cysts as much as possible.

 

For those who are older, have no fertility requirements, have severe symptoms, or are ineffective in multiple treatments, radical surgery can be used to remove the lesions.

 

During treatment, patients must pay more attention to rest and ensure adequate sleep. In daily life, it is recommended that women exercise correctly to enhance their physique and improve their disease resistance. Medication should also be administered strictly following the doctor's orders.

 

Endometriosis is a chronic, relapse-prone disease, and patients should do long-term management to reduce the relapse rate. Whether conservative treatment or surgical treatment, it is recommended that patients become pregnant as soon as possible or use drugs as prescribed to reduce recurrence.
