Adenomyosis does not get better on its own. Adenomyosis is not self-curing. For the treatment of adenomyosis, doctors will choose medication, surgery or other treatments depending on the patient’s symptoms, age and fertility requirements.
Adenomyosis is a condition in which the endometrial glands and mesenchyme invade into the myometrium and maintain functional changes such as periodic proliferation, exfoliation and bleeding, causing corresponding symptoms. Adenomyosis is categorized into two types: diffuse and limited. The etiology of the disease is still unclear and may be related to endometrial inflammation, transuterine manipulation and other factors.
Patients with no symptoms and no fertility requirements can be treated with observation; patients with mild symptoms, fertility requirements and near menopause can be treated with drugs such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, but need to pay attention to the adverse effects of the drugs, and the symptoms may recur after stopping the drugs; patients with severe symptoms and ineffective treatment can be treated with surgical treatments such as total hysterectomy.
Patients with adenomyosis are mainly characterized by increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period and progressively worsening dysmenorrhea. If patients have excessive menstrual flow or severe dysmenorrhea that affects their daily life, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible to get a clear picture of their condition and under the guidance of a doctor.
