What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis may be caused by genetic factors, reflux of menstrual blood, immune abnormalities, endocrine disorders, iatrogenic implants, etc. Endometriosis can be treated through drug treatment, surgical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, hot compress relief, and lifestyle adjustment.

1. Genetic factors

Endometriosis may be related to genetic factors, and people with a family history of endometriosis are more likely to develop the disease. It usually presents with symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and painful sexual intercourse. For endometriosis caused by genetic factors, it is recommended to conduct regular gynecological examinations for timely detection and intervention. You can use ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets, Dan'e Fukang decoction and other drugs to relieve symptoms under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Menstrual blood reflux

Endometriosis may be related to reflux of menstrual blood. During menstruation, endometrial fragments flow backward through the fallopian tube to the pelvic cavity, causing ectopic implantation. It usually presents with symptoms such as pelvic pain and abnormal menstruation. For endometriosis caused by reflux of menstrual blood, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise during menstruation and can be treated with dienogest tablets, drospirenone ethinylestradiol tablets, Sanjie Analgesic Capsules and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Immune abnormalities

Endometriosis may be related to immune abnormalities, a dysfunction of the immune system that prevents the removal of ectopic endometrial tissue. It usually presents with symptoms such as infertility and chronic pelvic pain. For endometriosis caused by immune abnormalities, it is recommended to maintain a regular schedule and enhance immunity. You can use mifepristone tablets, gestrinone capsules, Guizhi Fuling capsules and other drugs to regulate immunity under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Endocrine disorders

Endometriosis may be related to endocrine disorders, in which abnormal levels of estrogen stimulate the overgrowth of the endometrium. Symptoms usually include increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period. For endometriosis caused by endocrine disorders, it is recommended to avoid staying up late and keep your mood stable. You can use norethindrone tablets, levonorgestrel intrauterine sustained release system, Hongjin Xiaojie tablets and other drugs to regulate hormone levels under the guidance of a doctor.

5. Iatrogenic implantation

Endometriosis may be related to iatrogenic implantation, and surgical procedures such as cesarean section and induced abortion may cause endometriosis. It usually presents with symptoms such as periodic pain and masses in the surgical scar. For endometriosis caused by iatrogenic implants, it is recommended to choose a regular medical institution for surgery. You can use goserelin sustained-release implants, leuprolide sustained-release microspheres, adamantine capsules and other drugs to inhibit endometrial growth under the guidance of a doctor.

Patients with endometriosis should pay attention to keeping their perineum clean and avoid having sex during menstruation. In your diet, you can eat moderate amounts of foods rich in high-quality protein such as fish and eggs, as well as vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber such as broccoli and apples. Avoid spicy and spicy foods. Carry out gentle exercise such as yoga and walking appropriately and avoid strenuous exercise. Keep a regular schedule and avoid staying up late. If symptoms persist or worsen, you should seek medical review promptly and adjust the treatment plan under the guidance of a doctor.
