How big is an adenomyoma that needs surgery

Generally, surgery is required when adenomyoma is ≥5cm or accompanied by obvious symptoms, and the surgery should be performed according to the doctor’s prescription. Adenomyoma is a nodule formed by limited growth of adenomyosis foci, similar to intermural myoma, which also causes symptoms such as excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period and progressively worsening dysmenorrhea. Surgery is required when the diameter is ≥5 cm or when accompanied by obvious symptoms. However, due to the unclear boundary between the lesion and the surrounding tissues, it will not be easy to peel off during surgery and is prone to recurrence after surgery. After surgery for adenomyoma, it is necessary to pay attention to proper rest, no premature labor and strenuous exercise, increase nutrition to promote physical recovery, and follow the doctor’s instructions to review on time.
