Endometriosis is a disease in which the endometrium grows in the wrong location. It may grow anywhere in a woman’s abdominal cavity, such as the ovaries, the rectum, the bladder, the ureters and other internal organs. The surface of organ tissues, including the vagina, etc. 1. Causes of endometriosis
Endometriosis does not belong to bacterial infection, nor does it belong to excess tissue. It can be primary or secondary, and it depends on diet and nutrition. There is no direct correlation, so the cause of endometriosis is not medically clear.
However, according to patient statistics, the causes of endometriosis may be as follows:
1. Uterine ectopy occurs after strong stimulation. The main basis is that patients who have undergone uterine surgery have a higher morbidity rate, and those who have long-term pelvic pain have a higher morbidity rate. Either surgery or pain can cause intense irritation of the lining of the uterus.
2. Genetic influence. The main basis is that endometriosis occurs in families.
3. The influence of living habits. The main basis is that people with poor economic status and infertile patients are more likely to suffer from endometriosis. 2. Clinical manifestations of endometriosis
The most obvious manifestation of endometriosis is severe dysmenorrhea and varying degrees of irregular menstruation. Patients with endometriosis can become pregnant, but the chance of pregnancy is much lower than that of normal women, so it is one of the culprits of infertility. Lower abdominal pain that usually occurs from time to time is also a symptom of endometriosis. 3. Treatment of endometriosis
The treatment of endometriosis is divided into two types: those with pregnancy requirements and those without pregnancy requirements. Women who want to become pregnant can be treated with surgery. Women who do not want to become pregnant can be treated with medication. Women who have given birth and are older can be treated by completely removing the lesions.
Drug treatment mainly achieves the purpose of preventing the growth of endometriosis by inhibiting ovarian function, but the effect will recur, and there is no guarantee that the endometrium will grow back to its original position after stopping the drug. Therefore, conservative surgical treatment is better.
