2. Endometriosis and chocolate cysts
Endometriosis is very common in women of childbearing age. The disease is associated with menstruation. 90% of women will have blood flowing back into the pelvis during menstruation. Some endometrial cells do not die. Will continue to develop until the endometrial hyperplasia in the pelvis, about 10 percent of women this age will have this disease. The reason is because women today have early and long periods. Before getting married and having children, menstruation is not less than 10-20 years, so there are many chances of getting this disease.
Endometrial hyperplasia, which causes pelvic fibrosis, later forms a small cyst of chocolate-like fluid that slowly squeezes the ovaries. and enlarged until a large cyst becomes a chocolate cyst (Chocolate Cyst). When it is more, there will be pain during sex. chronic pain with prolonged daily pain If the disease has spread to the bladder or colon, there will be bloody urination or stools. Some people may have symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Many women with the disease will also be infertile.

4. Disease of the uterus from endometrial growth in the wrong place. (Adenomyosis)
This disease does not have a specific name in Thai. Adenomyosis is a disease in which endometrial cells grow in the muscular layer of the uterus. (Similar to endometriosis, where endometrial cells grow in the pelvis), endometrial cells grow and break down during the menstrual cycle.
During menstruation, these cells break down, causing inflammation in the muscle layer. stimulate the contraction of the uterus cause menstrual pain After menopause, fibrosis occurs in this muscle layer. The condition recurs during each menstrual cycle. This makes the uterus bigger and more round and the symptoms can be more severe. In addition to having menstrual pain Heavy menstrual periods are also a common symptom. In severe cases, there will be chronic pain, lingering pain, or pain similar to menstrual pain almost every day.

Although it is not a disease or cancer, but the 4 diseases as mentioned above It can cause symptoms that affect health to varying degrees, in some cases asymptomatic. But there are changes that can cause serious health hazards later.
Therefore, if there is only one abnormal symptom, you should see an obstetrician-gynecologist. Or even if there are no abnormal symptoms, you should have a health check every year. and by using high-frequency sound waves together with internal examination in the detection of such conditions or diseases so no pain Feel at ease in checking

treatment approach
Treatment guidelines for all 4 diseases will use surgical treatment, such as removing the cyst. uterine fibroid removal, ovarian removal, and hysterectomy Each type of surgery depends on the type of disease. The age of the examined and the need for future fertility. for example
- If your age (40 years or older) has a uterine fibroid Hysterectomy is a suitable surgery.
- But if you are young (30 years or less) want to have children in the future but chocolate cysts The appropriate surgery is water bag removal, etc.
Surgery nowadays is commonly used laparoscopic surgery. which is very less painful during and after surgery short hospital stay And recovering to work quickly, only 1 week can return to work
Check the symptoms of “syphilis”, do not rush to treat the disease spreading, destroying other organs.
