Endometriosis

Endometriosis ( 15 Questions)

A client with diagnosed Endometriosis is discussing treatment options with the nurse.
Which statement by the nurse accurately describes a potential treatment approach for Endometriosis?


Correct Answer: B

Choice A rationale:

Surgical removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) is not the only effective treatment for endometriosis.

While it can be a treatment option in severe cases, it is not the first-line treatment and is typically reserved for cases where other treatments have failed or when the patient no longer desires fertility.

This option does not consider less invasive treatments that can be effective.

Choice C rationale:

Endometriosis is not caused by an infection, so antibiotics are not a cure for the condition.

It is a chronic inflammatory condition related to the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus.

Treating it with antibiotics is not an appropriate approach and does not address the underlying pathophysiology.

Choice D rationale:

Physical therapy is not the primary treatment for endometriosis-related pain.

While physical therapy can be a part of a comprehensive approach to managing pain and improving quality of life in some cases, it is not the primary or sole treatment for endometriosis itself.

Other medical treatments, such as hormone therapy and pain management, are more commonly used.
