Patient's question:
I have suffered from adenomyosis and multiple uterine fibroids for 10 years, and various treatments have been ineffective. In the past two years, my menstrual period has been longer (around 10 days), but the cycle is regular (28 days). From July to September of this year, I took the birth control pill Mirena. In October and November, I had two menstrual periods, with the last one on November 16. The period lasted 18 days (with a 3-day break in the middle). My basal body temperature (BBT) has been measured now, and it has been a week since my last period. After the period ended this month, I tested E2 at 168 and FSH at 13.6. The ultrasound results were similar to before. I am 41 years old this year, and I have previously experienced longer periods, but they still came on time. I have never had this situation before. Could it be that...Doctor's answer:
Hello! Due to factors such as uterine surgery, irregular lifestyles, and poor living habits, adenomyosis of the uterus is highly prevalent. Once a patient is diagnosed with adenomyosis, their normal life, work, mental and physical health, and even fertility can be severely affected. Therefore, it is crucial to actively treat the condition. However, there are many methods available for treating adenomyosis, and patients must pay special attention. For conditions like uterine fibroids and adenomyosis, it is highly unlikely that the disease can heal on its own. Once diagnosed with either, it is essential to seek treatment at a reputable hospital. Treatment decisions, including whether surgery is necessary, should be based on examination results and the doctor's recommendations!
