I'm 35 with a 5-year-old kid and have been dealing with severe stomach pain during my periods. Multiple doctors diagnosed me with endometriosis it was 8.3 mm in the last scan and now 8 mm. They recommended surgery, but I'm hoping to treat it with medicine. Right now, I'm taking Dinogest 2mg daily. Can endometriosis this size be cured with meds, and how long might it take to see improvement?

Severe stomach pain during periods, especially if linked to a diagnosis of endometriosis, suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to pain management and potentially further investigation into the condition. While a slight decrease in the lesion size (8.3mm to 8mm) might be considered a minor change, it's not necessarily indicative of a positive or negative trend and warrants further evaluation.

I'm really confused about how to take the xamic mf 250500 that was prescribed to my sister. It says she needs to take it three times a day for five days in a month over three months, but we're not sure which five days that should be. Does it need to be during her periods or can it just be any random five days in the month? Would really appreciate some guidance on the exact timing.

its typically best to take Xamic MF 250500 during her period, ideally starting on the first day of heavy bleeding. However, she should double-check with her healthcare provider to make sure shes following the treatment plan as intended.
