Is endometriosis recurring at a high rate?

Endometriosis is a gynecological disease that causes many women to suffer clinically. It not only harms their own bodies, but also affects infertility and causes the breakdown of couples' relationships. Therefore, it is vital to take preventive measures against endometriosis in daily life. So is the recurrence rate of endometriosis very high?

1. Preventive measures

1. Patients with severe retroverted uterus, vaginal atresia, and cervical stenosis should be treated as soon as possible to prevent menstrual blood from flowing back into the pelvic cavity and causing ectopic implantation of the endometrium.

2. Instruct patients to avoid excessive or strenuous activities during menstruation to prevent reflux of menstrual blood caused by drastic changes in body position and abdominal pressure.

3. Medical staff should avoid performing intrauterine operations during menstruation and instruct patients to avoid having sex during menstruation and just after menstruation to avoid sending the shed endometrium into the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tubes, thereby reducing the risk of disease.

4. Encourage women to do postpartum exercises as soon as possible after delivery to prevent retroverted uterus.

Psychological care measures

Although endometriosis is a benign disease, it causes physical and mental pain to patients, affecting their lives and work. It also metastasizes widely and is prone to relapse. The treatment is relatively complicated, and each patient has a different treatment plan. Therefore, nurses should encourage patients to fully understand their disease, have confidence in the treatment, and jointly seek the best treatment plan.

3. General nursing measures

Explain the causes of dysmenorrhea to the patient, and instruct the patient to pay attention to rest, keep warm, and maintain a happy mood during menstruation. When pain occurs, the patient can use a hot water bottle to apply heat to the lower abdomen.

The above are the preventive measures for endometriosis, and I hope they can help the majority of female friends. Taking preventive measures for endometriosis can not only avoid suffering from gynecological diseases, but also reduce the psychological pressure and economic burden caused by the disease. Therefore, I hope that female friends will take good care of their bodies and pay attention to prevention.
