I have had abdominal wall endometriosis for 10 years.

The treatment of external injuries is relatively simple, but the treatment of internal injuries is very complicated. Moreover, internal injuries require good care and cannot be recovered overnight. Abdominal wall endometriosis has a great impact on women and may cause female infertility. This is unbearable pain for both the family and the individual. And if it takes ten years, the hope of recovery is slim, but it is possible to recover through surgery.

Causes

The cause of abdominal wall endometriosis is generally believed to be that during cesarean section, endometrial fragments that are difficult to detect with the naked eye are scattered in the abdominal wall incision and implanted therein.

There are nodules or lumps at the abdominal wall incision. Most of the lumps are closely related to menstruation. The lumps increase in size and pain before and during menstruation, and the pain is relieved and the lumps shrink after menstruation. Accompanied by dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, prolonged menstruation, infertility, unhappy sexual life, heavy stools, bladder symptoms, etc.

harm

1. Female infertility: accounts for 40%-50% of endometriosis. Endometriosis can cause pelvic adhesions, hardening or even obstruction of the fallopian tubes, abnormal hormone metabolism and immune function, leading to the retrograde migration of the fertilized egg and the asynchrony with the endometrium, or the retrograde migration of the fertilized egg itself being blocked, resulting in infertility.

2. Menstrual disorders: Invaded by ectopic endometrium, the ovarian parenchyma tissue is destroyed, which affects hormone metabolism, resulting in menstrual disorders and increased vaginal bleeding during menstruation. In some cases, premenstrual spotting may also occur.

3. Pain during sexual intercourse: The ectopic endometrium causes the surrounding tissues to swell, and during sexual intercourse, the movement of the penis causes pain, which is more obvious in the early stages of menstruation.

4. Ovarian tumors: The ovaries are the favorite place for ectopic endometrium to "live". Whenever menstruation comes, menstrual blood will always remain in the ovaries, and the amount will increase. Slowly, a mass will form unknowingly.

5. Ectopic pregnancy: Ectopic endometrium can cause pelvic adhesions and fallopian tube obstruction. The fertilized egg can only implant and develop locally, increasing the probability of ectopic pregnancy.

The first is to seize early cure, the second is to control the development of endometriosis, and the third is to prevent recurrence after cure.

There are many treatments for endometriosis, including surgery, Western medicine and Chinese medicine.

Western medicine treatment for endometriosis: mostly based on pseudopregnancy therapy.

Traditional Chinese medicine treats endometriosis: It has significant therapeutic effects such as relieving pain, regulating menstruation and aiding pregnancy, and improving symptoms. At the same time, it improves the function of the reproductive system by regulating endocrine, blood rheology, reproduction, prostaglandin synthesis and metabolism, and immunity, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the pregnancy rate.

Surgical treatment of endometriosis: under direct vision, the scope and nature of the lesions can be basically determined. It is effective in relieving pain and promoting reproductive function. The treatment course is short, especially for severe cases with more fibrosis and tight adhesions, and the drug effect is not obvious. For larger ovarian endometrioid cysts, drug treatment is ineffective and surgery may still preserve effective ovarian tissue. The fallopian tube can also be inspected under laparoscopy. There are a variety of surgical methods, depending on the patient's specific condition.
