Patient's question:
Diagnosed in June 2008, gave birth to a girl in May 2009. Treatment history and effectiveness: underwent hysteroscopy examination, detailed examination results: in October 2009, color Doppler ultrasound showed 4/4 low echo on the right wall of the uterus with unclear boundaries. Aware of benign and malignant, whether surgery is performed or not.Doctor's answer:
When the endometrium diffusely invades the uterine muscle wall, it is called adenomyosis. If the invading endometrium is limited to a specific point in the uterine muscle layer, causing extreme fibrosis of the smooth muscle cells and forming a spherical mass, some people refer to it as an adenomyoma. In reality, it is not a true tumor and is not malignant. An adenomyoma is actually a special type of endometriosis, with the main symptom being gradually alleviating dysmenorrhea. The principle of treatment is that mild symptoms may be managed with expectant therapy; for mild patients with fertility recommendations, medication is given first, and for those with more severe inflammation, conservative surgery is performed.
