What are the dangers of adenomyosis?

The disease of adenomyosis can cause great harm to women's bodies. It may cause diseases such as uterine enlargement or uterine fibroids in women. In severe cases, it may lead to infertility in women. Therefore, women should seek timely treatment when they encounter adenomyosis in their lives. Let us now look at the dangers of adenomyosis.

The patient's uterus is often enlarged, but usually does not exceed the size of a two-month pregnant uterus. If the uterus is removed and opened, small cavities of varying sizes can be seen on the cut surface of the uterine wall. These cavities contain old blood, and endometrial glands and stroma can be seen under the microscope. If it is an adenomyoma, the adenomyoma tissue is connected to the uterine muscle wall tissue, which is different from uterine leiomyoma. Sometimes the two can be distinguished by the naked eye. The formation of adenomyosis or adenomyoma may be related to long-term stimulation of excessive estrogen.

The following hazards:

1. This disease can cause female infertility. In recent years, with the widespread application of intrauterine operation technology, some young women have also developed the disease among women aged 16-30, and women of childbearing age can also cause infertility.

2. Patients may experience symptoms such as abnormal menstruation, pain during intercourse, pelvic pain, low-grade fever, increased vaginal discharge and menstrual pain. The cause of dysmenorrhea may be that the ectopic endometrium bleeds with the changes in the ovaries, resulting in increased local pressure outside the lesion, and the surrounding smooth muscle tissue is stimulated to spasm and contract, causing pain.

3. During gynecological examinations, it is often found that the uterus is enlarged. Generally, the uterus enlarges during the menstrual period or before and after the menstrual period, and then gradually becomes smaller, but not exceeding the size of 3 months of pregnancy. If it is larger than 3 months, it means there are complications.

4. Dysmenorrhea. One of the dangers of adenomyosis is dysmenorrhea, which accounts for 80% of patients. Most patients present with secondary dysmenorrhea, which is accompanied by progressive worsening. As the disease progresses, the pain may start from one week before menstruation and last for two weeks after menstruation. In a few patients, the pain will occur before and after menstruation, developing in a cyclical manner.
