What is the reason for early menstruation in patients with adenomyosis?

Irregular menstruation is one of the important clinical manifestations of adenomyosis. I believe many patients want to know, then, what is the reason for the early menstruation of patients with adenomyosis?

The onset of adenomyosis is related to progesterone, which is the main factor affecting menstruation. Abnormal secretion of progesterone will cause abnormal delay or advance of menstruation.

The main causes of adenomyosis are as follows:

1. Progesterone

Experts point out that the incidence of adenomyosis is higher in multiparous women than in nulliparous women, which indicates that the onset of adenomyosis is related to progesterone.

2. Uterine surgery and improper operation

During cesarean section, mid-pregnancy cesarean section, myomectomy, uterine malformation correction, etc., there is a high possibility that endometrial fragments will be introduced into the myometrium during the uterine surgery, and the myometrium may be damaged, thereby increasing the incidence of adenomyosis.

3. Reproductive tract obstruction factors

Congenital or acquired diseases can lead to obstruction of the reproductive tract, preventing menstrual blood from flowing out, thus causing adenomyosis.

4. Age Factor

Adenomyosis usually occurs in women between the ages of 40 and 50. Women of this age group are in the menopausal period, and their ovarian function begins to decline or even atrophy and age. Ovarian ovulation is rare, and even stops. Estrogen levels are relatively high, while progesterone levels are relatively low, leading to ovarian dysfunction. When estrogen levels in the body are too high, the endometrium will overproliferate and spread into the myometrium, inducing adenomyosis.

Try to avoid gynecological surgery near the menstrual period. If you must perform it, be gentle and avoid squeezing. The editor sincerely wishes all patients a speedy recovery!
