Where do adenomyomas grow? How are adenomyomas treated?

Where do adenomyomas grow? Adenomyomas are a common benign tumor in the female reproductive system, usually growing in the myometrium of the uterine wall. Specifically, the common locations of adenomyomas are as follows:

1. Intrauterine wall: The most common location of adenomyoma is in the uterine wall, that is, in the myometrium. This location usually has a relatively small impact on reproductive ability and does not cause obvious symptoms.

2. In the uterine cavity: Sometimes, adenomyomas may also grow in the uterine cavity, that is, in the endometrial cavity. When adenomyomas grow to a certain size, they may cause symptoms such as irregular menstruation and increased bleeding.

3. Outside the uterus: Although adenomyomas mainly grow inside the uterus, they sometimes appear in abnormal locations, such as the cervix, the peritoneal surface of the uterine wall, and the uterine ligaments.

How to treat uterine adenomyoma? There are mainly the following treatments for uterine adenomyoma:

1. Observation and treatment: For patients with adenomyoma who have no obvious symptoms or mild symptoms, observation and treatment can be chosen. Regular gynecological examinations are performed to monitor the growth of the tumor and observe whether other treatment measures are needed.

2. Drug treatment: Drug treatment mainly uses oral hormone drugs, such as contraceptives, progesterone drugs, etc., to control hormone levels and thus inhibit tumor growth. This treatment method is suitable for women who want to keep their uterus, but the effect is slow and there is a possibility of recurrence.

3. Surgical treatment: For patients with large tumors, severe symptoms or growing adenomyoma, surgical treatment may be considered. Common surgical methods include myomectomy, myomectomy, etc. Depending on the situation, the surgery can choose to retain the uterus or remove the uterus.

4. Interventional therapy: In recent years, interventional therapy has been widely used as a minimally invasive surgical method in the treatment of adenomyoma. This method inserts a catheter into a blood vessel, and then removes the tumor or infuses drugs through the selected blood vessel to achieve the purpose of treatment. Interventional therapy is not only effective, but also has a good effect on preserving the uterus.

In summary, the location of adenomyoma is mainly in the muscle layer of the inner wall of the uterus, including the inner wall of the uterus and the inner cavity of the uterus. Treatment methods include observation treatment, drug treatment, surgical treatment and interventional treatment. For each patient, the selection of appropriate treatment methods should take into account the size of the tumor, the severity of symptoms and their own fertility needs. The most important thing is that during the treatment process, it is necessary to communicate and exchange with professional doctors to develop the most reasonable treatment plan. If you find that you have adenomyoma, don't panic. Seeking medical treatment and treatment in time will have better results.
