Proactively protecting women's health
The 鈥榚ndometrium鈥 refers to the lining of the uterus. During a menstrual cycle, this lining will grow and shed if conception does not occur.
If cervical endometriosis continues to grow, it can cause a range of problems such as:
- Severe abdominal pain during menstruation
- Obstruction of fallopian tubes when the tumor covers or damages the ovaries. Blood trapped in the ovaries forming cysts.
- Scar tissue and adhesions, affecting the quality of eggs or sperm making them harder to move. Inflammation can also block the fallopian tubes, hindering conception.
- Increasing the risk of diseases such as ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and adenocarcinoma.
- Endometriosis can occur in any menstruating woman, more commonly in women aged 30 鈥 40. If not examined and treated, it can affect the woman's health and reproductive capabilities.
The condition is treated with medication, surgery, or both. In cases of large endometriosis tumors and patients who do not respond to medical treatment, doctors may recommend early surgery to avoid complications.
Women should seek medical examination immediately upon noticing any abnormal signs such as abdominal pain during menstruation, limited menstrual flow, abnormal vaginal discharge, etc., to detect gynecological diseases and receive timely treatment.
Regular gynecological examinations to proactively protect women's health and reproductive capabilities are also extremely necessary.
