How to treat severe endometriosis?

For women, the most annoying and terrifying thing is to suffer from gynecological diseases. However, the incidence of these diseases will increase a lot after marriage. Endometriosis is one of the more common ones. When patients are diagnosed, they are always worried that they have lost their fertility and want to be cured as soon as possible. Now the editor will explain the treatment methods of this disease. Come and take a look.

Pseudo-pregnancy therapy is a method of using powerful progestin contraceptive drugs, taken continuously for a long time in larger doses, which causes menstruation to stop. The endometrium and ectopic endometrium undergo a pregnancy-like reaction under the action of the drugs, so it is also called pseudo-pregnancy therapy. There are many drugs used for this therapy, and they are still being developed. The main ones for oral administration include progesterone acetate, provira, and nemethicone, while the ones for intramuscular injection include progesterone caproate. This treatment must be continued for at least six months before the ectopic endometrium can stop moving and eventually shrink, thus producing therapeutic effects.

It is generally believed that chocolate cysts occurring on the ovaries are often larger in size, or endometriotic nodules occurring in other parts of the body with a diameter of more than 2 cm are difficult to control with drugs and require surgical treatment; or six months or even a year of drug treatment. If the patient is young and has no children, surgery usually only removes the endometriosis, while preserving the uterus and normal ovarian tissue. It's called conservative surgery. This surgery preserves the possibility of fertility, but the chance of recurrence is greater. If the patient already has children and is older, the uterus can be removed at the same time as the endometriosis lesions are removed, while retaining normal ovarian tissue. In the long run, this method is better than conservative surgery, but it cannot absolutely prevent recurrence.

This article describes the treatment measures in great detail. If you suffer from this disease, you must not be overly worried and should go to the gynecology clinic for treatment as soon as possible. The editor also recommends that all patients temporarily control their sexual life, because keeping the genital area clean and hygienic will help alleviate the condition.
