Patient's question:
[Condition Description: I have had adenomyosis for six or seven years. Every time I have my period, I rely on painkillers to endure it, and it's still extremely painful. The pain is unbearable, and doctors have recommended removing my uterus. I saw an expert lecture on TV saying that removing the uterus can affect lifespan. Is this true?History of Treatment and Effect: Every time I go to the hospital, doctors say there is only one solution—removing the uterus. What kind of help do you need: I want to know what the effects will be after removing the uterus, especially whether it will really affect lifespan?

1. Benign uterine tumors: such as uterine fibroids larger than 12 weeks of pregnancy; or fibroids smaller than 12 weeks of pregnancy but with excessive uterine bleeding that is ineffective with medication.2. Uterine malignant tumors: such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, uterine choriocarcinoma, etc.
3. Severe dysfunctional uterine bleeding that is ineffective with conservative treatment.
4. Atypical hyperplasia of the endometrium, adenomyosis, endometriosis, etc., that is ineffective with medication.
