1.What is adenomyosis and adenomyoma? Adenomyosis is a benign disease of the uterus caused by the invasion of the uterine lining into the myometrium, and is divided into diffuse and focal types. Adenomyoma is a manifestation of uterine adenomyosis. 2, the cause of adenomyosis: not completely clear, it is generally believed to be related to multiple abortions, childbirth, uterine trauma during cesarean delivery and chronic endometritis as the main cause, mostly in young women in their reproductive years. 3, symptoms of adenomyosis: increasingly severe dysmenorrhea and excessive menstruation are its typical symptoms, pain manifested as persistent lower abdominal pain, lumbosacral pain, anal swelling, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, when serious can not live and work normally, often accompanied by menstrual disorders, anemia, infertility, painful intercourse. 4, the difference between adenomyosis and fibroids: adenomyosis is not a tumor, it does not have an envelope, conventional surgery is difficult to complete the removal of fibroids is a benign tumor, there is an envelope, can be removed. 5, the treatment of uterine adenomyosis: (1) drug therapy: hormonal drugs to adjust the patient to the menopausal state, liver and kidney damage, masculinization, poor efficacy, relapse after discontinuation of drugs, and affect the quality of life of patients. (2) Hysterectomy or lesion debridement: it is very traumatic, or loss of fertility, or lesion debridement is not complete, and the recurrence rate is very high, and recurrence will occur after 2-3 menstrual periods after surgery. (3) Hysterectomy: at the cost of removing organs, traumatic, the uterus can secrete many kinds of hormones to maintain the endocrine balance, after removal, it affects female endocrine; vaginal dryness and other menopausal symptoms; after removal of the uterus, it will affect the blood supply of the ovaries, causing premature decline of ovarian function, osteoporosis, vaginal dryness and other menopausal symptoms; the uterus can play a supporting role in the body, maintaining the position of the bladder and rectum, when When the uterus is removed, the bladder and rectum lose their support, and as they age, they are prone to prolapse, which affects urination and defecation functions. In addition, the loss of support can affect the quality of sexual life; (4) Interventional treatment: This is a proven treatment method that has been rapidly developed at home and abroad in the past 10 years. Under intravenous analgesia, a small hole the size of a grain of rice is cut in the root of one thigh, and a special catheter is inserted into the blood supply artery of the adenomyosis lesion, and an embolic agent is applied to block the blood supply to the lesion, causing ischemic necrosis of the lesion, i.e. “starvation” of adenomyosis. The procedure is usually completed in about 1.5 hours. Postoperative efficacy is good, 85-90% of patients with dysmenorrhea basically or completely disappeared within 1-3 months after treatment, menstruation returned to normal, and the uterus was obviously shrunken and softened within 3-5 months. In conclusion, interventional therapy is the best choice for the treatment of adenomyosis, which has the advantages of precise efficacy, small trauma, fast recovery, preservation of the uterus and fertility, etc.
