How long should I take medicine for endometrial tuberculosis?

Endometrial tuberculosis is actually a relatively common gynecological disease. Its pathogenesis is very simple. For some reason, the endometrial tissue that should have been in the uterus runs to other areas, attaches to them and continues to grow. This greatly affects the patient's physical health. If it continues for a long time, it will also cause infertility.

Drug treatment for endometrial tuberculosis

Drug therapy can be divided into preoperative medication or postoperative medication. Preoperative medication can reduce the lesion, shrink the uterus, reduce pelvic adhesions and congestion, and inhibit the formation of physiological ovarian cysts, which should be beneficial for laparoscopic surgery.

Drug treatment for endometrial tuberculosis

At present, drug treatment for internal tuberculosis is mostly preoperative and postoperative medication. Postoperative medication can reduce residual lesions and delay the recurrence of internal tuberculosis. It is mainly suitable for patients with extensive tuberculosis lesions that cannot be completely removed or those with pain symptoms who have no fertility requirements but have cleared tuberculosis lesions visible to the naked eye. Evidence-based medical data published abroad show that it is appropriate for patients with pain symptoms to continue drug treatment for 6 months after laparoscopic conservative surgery. For patients who have cleared tuberculosis lesions visible to the naked eye and hope to have children in the near future, patients can be encouraged to get pregnant as soon as possible.

Commonly used and effective drugs for the treatment of internal tuberculosis include danazol, gestrinone (gestrinone [translation]: gestrinone is a medium-strength progestin with strong anti-progestin and anti-estrogen activity, and also has very weak estrogenic and androgenic effects. It is clinically used as a contraceptive for visiting relatives or post-natal contraceptives. For early pregnancy, if used in combination with prostaglandins, it can increase the success rate of induced labor. Chinese aliases: gestrinone, 18-methyltrienylnorgestrel, qiangnoketone, dehydronorgestrel.), gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs or agonists, progestogen drugs and oral contraceptives. Evidence-based medical data show that the efficacy of the above drugs in the treatment of internal tuberculosis is not much different, but the side effects are different and the prices are also very different. Therefore, when choosing medications, you should fully communicate with the patient and jointly develop a treatment plan.
