Patient's question:
[Condition Description: Uterine adenomyosis has been going on for six or seven years. Every time I have my period, I rely on taking pain medication to endure it, and it's still extremely painful. The pain is unbearable, and doctors have recommended removing the uterus. I saw an expert lecture on TV saying that removing the uterus can affect lifespan. Is this true?History of Treatment and Effects: 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 the uterus is removed, especially whether it will truly affect lifespan?]
Doctor's answer:
1. Benign uterine tumors: such as uterine fibroids larger than the size of a 12-week pregnancy; or fibroids that are smaller than a 12-week pregnancy but cause excessive uterine bleeding and are ineffective with medication.2. Uterine malignant tumors: such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, and uterine choriocarcinoma, etc.
3. Severe dysfunctional uterine bleeding that does not respond to conservative treatment.
4. Atypical endometrial hyperplasia, adenomyosis, endometriosis, etc., that do not respond to medication.
5. Malignant tumors of the ovary or fallopian tube.
6. Conditions such as uterine prolapse, uterine inversion, or uterine rupture where the uterus does not need to be preserved or cannot be preserved.
