Adenomyosis is a gynecological disease, which also occurs at ordinary times, especially after the patient gets sick, his body also has abnormalities, so he must be checked and diagnosed immediately.
What is Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis is a diffuse and localized disease caused by invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into Myometrium, which is a common gynecological disease. Adenomyosis of the uterus used to occur in women over 40 years old, but in recent years it has shown a younger trend and is related to the increase in surgeries such as cesarean section and induced abortion.
There are many treatment methods for adenomyosis, and clinical decisions must be made based on the patient's age, symptoms, and fertility requirements. Often combined with comprehensive treatment plans such as surgery and medication.
Can Adenomyosis be examined by ultrasound
Ultrasonic examination of Adenomyosis can be performed, and ultrasonic examination is generally recommended. Abdominal ultrasonography examination is known as ultrasonic examination. Now ultrasonic examination is the most commonly used effective method to diagnose Adenomyosis, which can correctly detect the lesion location and extent of Adenomyosis.
Symptoms of Adenomyosis
1. Physiological pain: This is the most common symptom of Adenomyosis. Generally, patients have secondary physiological pain, which becomes more and more obvious with the deterioration of the condition. The degree of dysmenorrhea is directly proportional to the depth of endometrial invasion into the myometrium, as well as the density of endometrial stroma and glands in the myometrium.
2. Menstrual volume increase: The main symptoms are an increase in menstrual time and volume. Lesions in the uterine muscle wall directly affect the contraction of uterine fibers, and the blood sinuses cannot be closed when menstruation is open. The inner wall of the uterus thickens, the area of the uterine cavity gradually increases, and eventually becomes affected by estrogen and undergoes hyperplasia.
3. Enlarged uterus: In patients with Adenomyosis, the uterus becomes larger, larger than 3 months after pregnancy, and is diffuse spherical. However, the uterus becomes larger before and after menstruation, and then smaller.
4. The Pain of Couple Life: Desire decreases, and there is pain in the couple's life, which is obvious. Many women leave a shadow and refuse to live together, ultimately showing a decrease in desire and indifference.
Examination of Adenomyosis
1. Ultrasonography: In recent years, ultrasound has been widely used to diagnose Adenomyosis, with a diagnostic rate of 52.4%. Typical sonograms are: ① the uterus is spherical with increased uniformity; ② small cystic hypoechoic reflections in the Myometrium; ③ the boundary between the uterine wall mass and the normal myometrium is unknown in local Adenomyosis and Uterine fibroid; small cystic hypoechoic reflections can be seen in the Myometrium. In addition, the size of the uterus undergoes periodic changes, with the uterus becoming larger during and after menstruation, and gradually decreasing thereafter.
