What does adenomyosis mean?

Adenomyosis is a condition in which the endometrial glands and mesenchyme invade into the myometrium causing symptoms such as increased menstrual flow and progressive dysmenorrhea, which can be treated with medication and surgery. Adenomyosis is a condition in which the endometrial glands and mesenchyme grow into the myometrium and maintain functional changes such as cyclic proliferation, exfoliation, and bleeding, causing symptoms such as excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, and progressive menstrual cramps, and often occurs in menstruating women between the ages of 30 and 50. The treatment of adenomyosis should follow the principle of individualization, depending on the patient’s specific situation, such as symptoms, age, reproductive needs to decide, including drug treatment, surgical treatment and so on. There is no curative medication for adenomyosis for the time being. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen can be taken orally to relieve dysmenorrhea, and danazol, progesterone, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists can be used to alleviate the symptoms, and the medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Others can also put levonorgestrel intrauterine device, etc., which can slowly release levonorgestrel to improve the symptoms of heavy menstruation and dysmenorrhea. Surgical treatment is also based on the patient’s condition to choose the appropriate surgical method, for the young, reproductive needs, heavy symptoms, if the lesions are limited lesion excision. If the symptoms are severe and there is no need for reproduction, total hysterectomy may be performed. If adenomyosis occurs in the clinic, we should actively consult the doctor and follow the doctor’s instructions for reasonable treatment, and the drugs should be reasonably applied under the guidance of the doctor.
