Treatment for Endometriosis
1. Medication
Drugs are used to counteract or inhibit the periodic endocrine stimulation of ovary. At first, testosterone was used, which had more side effects and less efficacy, so it was gradually abandoned. Later, it gradually developed into pseudo pregnancy therapy and pseudo menopause therapy.
1.1 Pseudo pregnancy therapy
It is to use powerful progesterone contraceptive, take it continuously in a larger dose for a long time, so that menstruation stops. Endometrium and ectopic endometrium react like pregnancy under the action of drugs, so it is also called pseudopregnancy therapy.
1.2 Pseudo menopause therapy
Since the 1980s, a drug called Goserellin has been widely used. It can strongly inhibit the function of the ovary, make it almost lose its function, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment. Moreover, because this drug is a long-term sustained-release preparation, it only needs to be injected subcutaneously once a month, which is very convenient. This kind of medicine can cause endometrium atrophy, so it is called pseudo menopause therapy.
2. Surgical treatment
It is generally believed that the chocolate cyst on the ovary is usually large in volume, or the
endometriosis nodule in other parts, whose volume is more than 2cm in diameter, which is not suitable for drug control but needs surgical treatment.
