자궁내막증 증상Many women take for granted the menstrual pain that occurs during menstruation and endure it with painkillers even if the pain is severe.
However, if your menstrual pain is unbearably severe and does not resolve even with painkillers, you should never ignore it.
Women of childbearing age undergo menstruation in which the uterine lining spontaneously sheds until menopause.
If you experience menstrual cramps that never existed before or if you have pelvic pain before menstruation, you need to suspect endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a disease in which endometrial tissue, which is supposed to be inside the uterus, spreads to the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and peritoneum, causing menstrual pain and adhesions, causing a menstrual-like effect.
It is one of the most common gynecological diseases that affects more than 10-15% of women of childbearing age. According to the National Health Insurance Service, the number of women diagnosed with endometriosis in 2020 has increased by a whopping 48% over the past five years.
The incidence is high in women in their 30s and 40s who have never given birth, and women with frequent or frequent menstruation are at greater risk, so it is recommended to be examined with caution.
Typical symptoms include severe menstrual pain, pelvic pain, pain during sexual intercourse, and abnormal bowel movements before and after the menstrual cycle.
Above all, regular examination and prevention are important as it can be a cause of infertility.
Therefore, if you are experiencing severe menstrual pain or if it does not resolve even after taking painkillers, you must visit a hospital for diagnosis and consultation.
Basically, in most cases, progress observation is done if there is no disruption to daily life.
However, if endometriomas caused by endometriosis grow in size and put pressure on surrounding organs such as the bladder or colon, or if the lesion is larger than 3 cm, surgical treatment should be considered.
Since the prognosis of endometriosis can vary greatly depending on the surgical technique and method, there is a recent trend of performing robotic surgery, which overcomes the limitations of laparoscopic surgery.
While the joints of conventional laparoscopic surgery can only move in one direction, like holding chopsticks in your hand, the joints of robotic surgery can move freely.
Therefore, even difficult areas can be easily accessed, and more precise surgery is possible through fine hand shake correction.
In addition, by providing 3D images enlarged 10 times, damage to the fine nerves, muscles, and blood vessels of the uterus and ovaries is minimized, while reducing the possibility of surgical aftereffects such as inflammation and adhesions.
Because it is a minimally invasive surgery, it puts less strain on the body and has the advantage of less scarring because the surgery is performed through 1 to 4 micro incisions.
Therefore, the recovery period can be dramatically reduced and highly satisfactory results can be expected.
Removal of lesions is important during surgery, but preserving fertility is most important, especially for unmarried women or women preparing for pregnancy.
Robotic surgery causes less damage to the periphery of the uterus than open surgery or laparoscopic surgery, which can help preserve fertility and the uterus.
However, since the surgical method may vary depending on the patient’s condition, please be sure to thoroughly consult with the medical staff in charge and carefully decide on treatment.
Please be advised that treatment dates and times may change in the future depending on the circumstances of the hospital.
