Patient's question:
Hello, I have adenomyosis and uterine fibroids. Will Jin Yuan Shu be effective, or is it better to wear a Mirena coil? Can you give me some advice?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Adenomyosis is a benign lesion caused by the invasion of the endometrium into the uterine muscle layer. Pathologically, it is characterized by thickening of the uterine muscle layer, with islands of endometrial glands and stroma interspersed within the muscular wall, accompanied by smooth muscle hyperplasia. Clinically, it primarily manifests as dysmenorrhea, increased menstrual volume, and uterine enlargement.It is generally believed that trauma to the uterine wall during multiple pregnancies and deliveries, as well as chronic endometritis, may be the main causes of this disease. Additionally, since the submucosal layer is absent beneath the basal membrane of the endometrium, and adenomyosis is often associated with uterine fibroids and endometrial hyperplasia, some researchers suggest that the invasion of basal endometrium into the muscle layer may be related to the stimulation of high estrogen levels.
