Endometriosis refers to the the formation of endometrial cells outside the uterine cavity, which is a common female gynecological chronic diseases. Endometrial cells should grow in the uterine cavity, but because the uterine cavity is connected to the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tube, and endometrial cells can enter the pelvic cavity, leading to ectopic growth during the menstrual period through the fallopian tubes.

The incidence rate of endometriosis in women of childbearing age is about 15%. More than 50% of patients with endometriosis have obvious dysmenorrhea and 30% of them are combined with infertility. Although endometriosis is benign lesions, it has the ability of local implantation, infiltration growth and distant metastasis similar to malignant tumors. Endometriosis has a great harm to women, and brings certain influence to their life and work. Moreover, it is difficult to achieve the goal of radical cure, and the recurrence rate is very high.

Recurrence of endometriosis should take the radical reason into consideration, and patients should know what is the difference from the first onset. According to the different symptoms, patients should take drugs or surgical treatment. Usually, herbal medicine can be used to improve the endometriosis symptoms with no side effects.

Patients should basically follow the principle of primary administration, while it should be individualized.

After surgical treatment, if there is recurrence, the first choice of drug therapy will be ineffective, then you should consider surgery. If patients are older, childless and symptomatic, hysterectomy or hysterectomy with bilateral accessory may be considered. The drug that patients choose should have non-steroidal body to fight inflammation drug (NSAIDS) or belong to sex hormone drugs.

Young people who need to preserve their reproductive function may undergo surgery or ultrasound-guided puncture, postoperative medical treatment or assisted reproductive technology. Surgery is advisable for older patients or for those whose imaging examination indicates that there is no malignant part or obvious blood flow in the capsule.
