Both are benign diseases of the uterus. Uterine fibroids are called the “first tumor in gynecology” and adenomyosis is the so-called “undead cancer”, both of which sound scary. But in fact, they are benign diseases that grow on the uterus and have a very low rate of malignancy. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much even if you have these two diseases. There is no relationship between them Many patients often confuse these two diseases, but in fact there is no direct connection between them. In terms of causative factors, uterine fibroids mainly depend on estrogen for growth. So far, the factors for the development of uterine fibroids are not clear, but modern medicine shows that its occurrence is related to emotions, stress and diet, etc. Adenomyosis, on the other hand, occurs as a result of the invasion of the endometrium into the myometrium. Its occurrence may be related to genetics, injury, and high estrogen stimulation, among others. Therefore, there is no necessary connection between the two, in terms of causative factors. Some of the symptoms are similar The symptoms of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis present in a variety of ways, but there are many similarities among them. For example, infertility, miscarriage, and abnormal menstruation may be the manifestation of symptoms of both diseases. There is no cure except hysterectomy At present, there is no cure for both fibroids and adenomyosis except hysterectomy. However, the sequelae associated with hysterectomy are much greater than the disease itself. Therefore, we do not recommend the extreme option of hysterectomy for the treatment of these two diseases. Uterine fibroids are like potatoes in the ground, no matter how much they are cleaned up, there may still be undiscovered small potatoes, and over time, these “small potatoes” will grow and lead to the recurrence of fibroids. Adenomyosis is like the sand that is scattered on the tofu, and no matter what method is used, it is impossible to completely remove these “grains of sand”. For both diseases, we suggest that the patient sisters have a thorough understanding of the various treatment options and choose the one that causes the least harm to the body, taking into account their own situation. For example, a new treatment modality, high-intensity ultrasound focused non-invasive treatment, is a good choice.
