Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of adenomyosis? Hello! What are the symptoms of adenomyosis? How should I deal with the symptoms of adenomyosis? I have been troubled by adenomyosis for a long time, and it is really painful. Please tell me how to treat it to be cured?Doctor's answer:
Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological condition caused by the invasion of endometrial tissue into the uterine muscle layer. If the patient is young and the symptoms are mild, observation and symptomatic treatment can be considered. Progestogens, androgens, and gossypol may help alleviate symptoms. For severe symptoms or when fertility preservation is not required, a hysterectomy can be performed while preserving the ovaries as much as possible. If pelvic endometriosis is also present, the focus should be on excising the lesions while preserving ovarian function to allow for natural menopause. For patients seeking fertility, hormone treatment for 6 to 12 months may be recommended, with the hope of achieving short-term conception after discontinuing the medication. If adenomyomas are discovered during surgical exploration, consideration should be given to removing the adenomyomas while preserving the uterus.
