Patient's question:
Medicine, there was no feeling of discomfort or severity. Recently, I went to Renmin Hospital for a follow-up check-up. The doctor said it had grown, and if I didn't want surgery, I didn't need to take medicine anymore. Just make do with it like this. If you want to get an IUD, you need to use the drug type. One IUD costs 1200 yuan. I don't know if it will be effective. What kind of help do I want to get: I want to ask if there are any good treatments or medications?Doctor's answer:
For patients with uterine adenomyosis who also suffer from dysmenorrhea, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can generally be used for symptomatic treatment. Since uterine adenomyosis is a special form of endometriosis, theoretically, drugs used to treat endometriosis can be applied to uterine adenomyosis to alleviate its dysmenorrhea and excessive menstrual bleeding symptoms, though their effectiveness still needs further evaluation. A total hysterectomy seems to be a better treatment option for uterine adenomyosis with difficult-to-manage symptoms. As for adenomyoma removal surgery, due to the unclear boundary between adenomyoma tissue and normal tissue, while it can reduce cellular tissue, the recurrence rate is high, and its effectiveness also needs further evaluation.Like endometriosis, uterine adenomyosis tends to gradually subside after menopause. The choice of treatment depends on the patient's age, symptoms, and fertility expectations.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment for Uterine Adenomyosis: From the perspective of the essence of uterine adenomyopathy, it is characterized by blood stasis, which falls under the category of excess patterns. However, prolonged illness can lead to blood loss and Qi deficiency, resulting in Qi and blood deficiency.
