What are the effects of endometriosis?

When women suffer from endometriosis, they must seek timely treatment, otherwise it will cause great harm to their health. Endometriosis affects many aspects, the most common of which is infertility. Many women become infertile because of this disease. Therefore, when they first suffer from endometriosis, they should choose the correct treatment method so that the disease can be cured and it will not affect their own fertility.

Endometriosis affects:

1. Infertility: Patients with endometriosis often suffer from infertility. Pelvic endometriosis can often cause adhesions around the fallopian tubes, affecting oocyte pickup or causing obstruction of the lumen. Or infertility may be caused by ovarian diseases affecting the normal ovulation. However, some people believe that long-term infertility and no menstrual cessation may lead to the chance of endometriosis; once pregnancy occurs, the ectopic endometrium is suppressed and atrophies.

2. Irregular menstruation: In endometriosis, the menstrual volume often increases and the menstrual period is prolonged. It may be caused by an increase in endometrium, but is often accompanied by ovarian dysfunction.

3. Dysmenorrhea: It is a common and prominent symptom, mostly secondary, that is, it starts from the occurrence of endometriosis. Patients complain that they had no pain during menstruation in the past, but dysmenorrhea began to occur from a certain period. It can occur before, during, and after menstruation. Some people have severe and unbearable dysmenorrhea and need to rest in bed or take pain medication. The pain often worsens with the menstrual cycle. As estrogen levels continue to rise, the ectopic endometrium proliferates and swells. If affected by progesterone, it will bleed, irritate local tissues, and cause pain.

4. Pain during sexual intercourse: Endometriosis occurs in the rectouterine fossa and vaginal rectal septum, causing swelling of the surrounding tissues and affecting sexual life, and the discomfort during sexual intercourse becomes more severe before menstruation.

After understanding the impact of endometriosis, treatment of this type of disease must be carried out actively. When treating endometriosis, women should also pay attention to their diet. When treating this type of disease, seafood and spicy foods cannot be eaten. These foods are of no help to the treatment of the disease and will affect the treatment results.
