What is limited adenomyosis?

Restricted adenomyosis is mostly considered to be adenomyoma. Adenomyosis is when the active endometrium has ectasized into the myometrium resulting in a diffuse or limited lesion, most often referred to as an adenomyoma. In the myometrium, the lesions grow in a restricted fashion and may form nodules and masses that are more similar to interstitial fibroids. Patients tend to have clinical symptoms such as progressively worsening dysmenorrhea, a feeling of lower abdominal swelling or cause infertility. For patients with adenomyoma, the use of short-acting contraceptives, progesterone antagonists and other drugs to inhibit ovarian function, which can improve abdominal pain and other therapeutic effects, if the adenomyoma size is relatively large or considered to be related to the patient’s infertility, then it is necessary to surgically remove the local lesions, and for non-fertility requirements of the patient, the need to remove the uterus if necessary. For patients with limited adenomyosis, it is recommended to go to the gynecology department of regular hospitals, and choose the appropriate way of active treatment under the guidance of doctors to improve the quality of life.
