Patient's question:
How to properly view adenomyosis and uterine fibroids? I have had this condition for three or four years. Every time I have my period, the pain is unbearable, but I don't want to have my uterus removed. Later, I heard from a friend about a uterine preservation U-surgery. I didn't know much about it at first, but there was no other choice. After watching the explanation and seeing that it could preserve the uterus, I felt it was a good option. Now, I am preparing to have the surgery.Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to estrogen in the body. On the other hand, adenomyosis is caused by retrograde menstruation leading to the implantation of endometrial tissue. Uterine fibroids generally do not cause pain, but instead lead to an increase in vaginal bleeding and the palpable presence of an abdominal mass. In contrast, adenomyosis can cause recurring menstrual pain. Adenomyosis tends to worsen with each menstrual cycle. It is recommended that you consider surgical treatment, maintain good hygiene, pay attention to abdominal warmth, and avoid extremely cold and irritating foods.
