Patient's question:
I am 37 years old. I started experiencing menstrual cramps from the third year of my menstruation. After giving birth to my son, the pain, but in a few years, it became worse and unbearable. Painkillers and other treatments have no effect on me anymore.Doctor's answer:
Hello! The cause of adenomyosis is retroverted uterus, which leads to poor discharge of menstrual blood. Combined with menstrual cramps during periods causing uterine spasm-like contractions, increased intracavitary pressure can cause endometrial tissue to infiltrate into the uterine muscle layer, resulting in ectopic growth.Treatment methods: Adenomyoma has been one of the most challenging diseases worldwide so far. Traditional treatment methods involve surgery, with the trade-off of removing the uterus or ovaries. Uterine removal not only causes symptoms such as elevated blood sugar and lipid levels, endocrine dysfunction, and worsened menopausal symptoms but also has a high recurrence rate after surgery.
Drug therapy can inhibit the growth or progression of ectopic endometrium, but the recurrence rate is very high after discontinuation. Therefore, the most ideal treatment method is the ultrasound-guided fine-needle puncture with the intervention of Chinese herbal medicine thermal coagulation agents for adenomyoma.
