Is 7 cm considered large for adenomyosis? What should I pay attention to?

Adenomyosis of 7 cm is a relatively serious condition and requires diagnosis, examination and treatment. Adenomyosis requires B-ultrasound examination. Buli et al. believed that histological changes were not related to B-ultrasound sonograms, and the sensitivity of B-ultrasound diagnosis was 63% and the specificity was 97%. There are reports of using vaginal B-ultrasound to diagnose adenomyosis, and the results were 73% consistent with the histological diagnosis, with a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 74%. The accuracy of abdominal B-ultrasound is similar to that of vaginal B-ultrasound.

The ultrasound image characteristics of adenomyosis are: the uterus is uniformly enlarged with clear contours; the endometrial lines may remain unchanged or slightly curved; the echo of the uterine cross-section is uneven, and sometimes echo-free areas of varying sizes can be seen.

Patients with adenomyosis need to pay attention to the following diet:

1. Patients with adenomyosis should avoid all cold foods. Before and after menstruation, they should be especially careful not to eat overheated soups and dishes. Raw and cold foods are taboo. Thick and greasy food is easy to cause blood stasis, so it is better to eat less. Light and laxative foods are more suitable for patients with adenomyosis. Not only that, dried fruits are not taboo and can be eaten at any time. Walnuts warm the yang, and jujubes and longans nourish the qi and blood, which are more suitable.

2. Cereals, beans, and potatoes are staple foods that patients with adenomyosis can eat without avoiding them. Poultry, livestock, eggs, milk, and fish are generally edible, and those with insufficient qi and blood can use them to replenish qi and nourish blood. Snails, clams, crabs, and turtles are cold foods, so they should be eaten less. Too fat meat should not be eaten. Fruits are mostly eaten raw, so patients with adenomyosis should also avoid them before and after menstruation.

3. Patients with adenomyosis can usually eat more foods that replenish qi and benefit qi. They can help qi and blood flow and relieve pain. They are especially suitable for patients with adenomyosis who have insufficient qi and blood.
