There are many ways to treat adenomyosis, and taking birth control pills is a common one chosen by people with adenomyosis. As we all know, it is used for contraception. And the treatment of adenomyosis can only be described as a symptomatic way of using medication. What is symptomatic medication: it is the medication that is chosen according to the symptoms, which is actually used to alleviate the symptoms and relieve the pain. Contraceptive pills are mainly used for contraception, its principle of action is to inhibit ovulation at the same time change the cervical mucus so that sperm is not easy to penetrate, so as to play the effect of contraception. Its therapeutic effect on adenomyosis is mainly due to the progesterone component contained in the contraceptive pill, which can inhibit estrogen levels in patients with adenomyosis, thus inhibiting the growth of the uterine lining to a certain extent, thus relieving the patient’s symptoms of menstrual cramps, and reducing the amount of menstruation and other effects. Can adenomyosis be inhibited by suppressing estrogen levels and the endometrium? Adenomyosis is a disease caused by the invasion of endometrial glands and mesenchyme into the myometrium. The endometrial lining in the myometrium grows and sloughs off in the same way as the lining of the uterine cavity does in January. The lining in the uterine cavity can be shed along with menstrual blood, while the lining and blood in the myometrium cannot be completely drained. As time grows, the lesions get bigger and the uterus gets bigger. The birth control pill can just inhibit the growth of the lining of the uterus, which will also relieve the symptoms of heavy menstruation and painful menstruation in adenomyosis. Contraceptive pills for adenomyosis has a certain therapeutic effect, but because of the hormonal nature of the contraceptive pill, so it is not suitable for long-term use, long-term use of the patient’s health is also detrimental to the patient, can lead to the patient to appear edema, discoloration, acne, obesity and other consequences, and even serious damage to the patient’s liver function, and in addition to the effect of the contraceptive pill is not everyone can see the effect of the patient, some patients may be able to serve, some may not be much effect, and even if it works, it may not work, but it may not work. Some patients may be able to take the pill, while others may not have much effect, and even if it works, it is only a temporary relief of symptoms, and can not cure adenomyosis at all. For taking birth control pills to treat adenomyosis, it can control the growth of the lesions in a short period of time, and can not eliminate the lesion base of adenomyosis, so it can not achieve the effect of adenomyosis cured. And some adenomyosis patients with this drug, once the drug is stopped, there may also be a rebound. It is only applicable to patients with adenomyosis at the early stage of onset or with milder conditions. For patients with serious conditions, for whom medication is not very effective, it is recommended that surgical treatment should still be considered. Hearing this, there will be a lot of adenomyosis patients ask, now do not want to surgery, and you said that the pill this is not good, that is not good, so adenomyosis can only be painful death? In fact, for patients with adenomyosis who do not have a surgical plan for the time being, the first thing I would recommend to relieve menstrual cramps is to take painkillers, such as ibuprofen, painkillers, indomethacin suppositories… Of course, you can also consider the use of birth control pills. Long-acting oral contraceptives: mainly rely on ethinyl estradiol stored in the fat tissue and gradually released to play a long-acting effect. One pill is taken on the fifth day of menstruation and then every 28-30 days thereafter. Long-acting contraceptives, generally not recommended for patients with adenomyosis. Short-acting oral contraceptive pills: usually take 1 tablet (pill) per day starting on the 5th day of menstruation for 22 days without interruption. Menstruation occurs 2 to 4 days after stopping the pill, and then the next cycle of the pill is taken on the 5th day of menstruation. The success rate of contraception is close to 100%, and it is currently the most widely used contraceptive method in the world. For example, the short-acting oral contraceptive Yosmin, which is currently ranked number one in the world Most of the contraceptives recommended by doctors for patients with adenomyosis are short-acting contraceptives, and there is no curative and effective medication for the treatment of uterine adenomyosis. Patients with mild symptoms and fertility requirements as well as those who are nearly menopausal can use Yosmin, mifepristone, danazol, and pregnanedione to alleviate their symptoms.
