Does endometriosis need treatment?

Whether or not endometriosis requires treatment entirely depends on the patient's symptoms. If it is a mild case of endometriosis without severe symptoms, the patient can undergo regular follow-up visits. However, if the patient experiences severe abdominal pain during menstruation, it depends on whether the patient has reproductive demands. If there are reproductive demands, medication can be administered; clinically, high-dose progestogens are commonly used to prevent the ectopic endometrial tissue from continuing to grow. If the patient has no desire for childbirth and suffers from severe pain, a hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy may be performed.

Can endometriosis turn into cancer?

The answer is no. First, let's explain what endometriosis is. Endometriosis is when the endometrium, or the lining of the uterus, is found outside of its normal location, including in the muscular layer of the uterus, the ovaries, the pelvic cavity, or the intestines; it can occur in any of these areas. This condition is known as endometriosis. Endometriosis within the uterus is a benign condition, but it can lead to severe painful menstruation and chocolate cysts. If the menstrual pain is very severe, there may be a possibility of needing a hysterectomy in the future. If a chocolate cyst occurs, surgery might also be necessary.

Endometriosis has several manifestations.

When women suffer from endometriosis, the clinical manifestations can vary depending on the specific location of the ectopic endometrial tissue, but there are some commonalities. A major symptom is pain related to menstruation, such as dysmenorrhea. For example, ovarian chocolate cysts can cause progressively worsening dysmenorrhea and affect the amount of menstrual flow; issues like increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstrual periods can also occur, and some women may experience pain during intercourse. Endometriosis often leads to the occurrence of pelvic adhesions, so some women may also experience chronic pelvic pain. When endometrial tissue is located on the ovaries, it can affect normal ovulation and hormone secretion, leading to irregular menstrual cycles and infertility.

Endometriosis characteristics

The main characteristic of endometriosis is painful menstruation, and in severe cases, it can lead to heavy periods and prolonged menstrual cycles. If endometriosis leads to the formation of ovarian chocolate cysts, the rupture of these cysts can cause severe abdominal pain. Moreover, endometriosis can easily lead to pelvic adhesions, which are a common cause of infertility. If the condition is severe, abdominal pain may also occur after the menstrual period has ended. In the case of adenomyosis, the symptoms include an enlarged uterine body, heavy periods, and prolonged menstrual cycles. If the condition is severe, then surgical treatment may be necessary.
