Specific symptoms of adenomyosis

Women's uterus is prone to inflammation, and the uterus itself is also prone to lesions, especially the prevalence of miscarriage, which leads to serious damage to women's uterus and many uterine diseases, adenomyosis is one of them. In the past, adenomyosis usually occurred in women over 40 years old, but now the disease has shown a trend of younger people.

Specific symptoms of adenomyosis

The causes of adenomyosis can be divided into a variety of factors such as genetics, uterine damage, viral infection and high estrogen, which may lead to the occurrence of adenomyosis. The main symptoms of adenomyosis are as follows.

1. Menstrual disorders (40-50%): Mainly manifested as prolonged menstruation and increased menstrual volume. Some patients may also have spotting before and after menstruation. This is due to the increase in uterine volume, the increase in endometrial area, and the effect of intramural lesions on the contraction of uterine muscle fibers. Severe patients may develop anemia.

2. Dysmenorrhea (25%): Characterized by progressive secondary dysmenorrhea. It usually occurs one week before menstruation and is relieved at the end of menstruation. This is because the endometrium of the uterine myometrium becomes congested, swollen, and bleeds under the influence of ovarian hormones during menstruation. At the same time, the blood volume of the uterine myometrium blood vessels increases, the thick myometrium of the uterus expands, and severe dysmenorrhea occurs.

3. About 35% of patients have no obvious symptoms.

Gynecological examination shows that the uterus is often uniformly enlarged and spherical, and adenomyoma may appear as a hard lump. The uterus usually does not exceed 12 weeks of pregnancy. The uterus is tender when menstruation is approaching; during menstruation, the uterus becomes larger, the texture becomes softer, and the tenderness is more obvious than usual; after menstruation, the uterus contracts. This cyclical change in physical signs is one of the important bases for diagnosing this disease. The uterus is usually attached to the surrounding rectum, especially the posterior rectum, and is inactive. About 15-40% of patients have concomitant endometriosis, and about half of patients have concomitant uterine fibroids.
