What can Cause Adenomyosis? Know These Factors

Adenomyosis is one of the most common diseases in women. With the growth of age and poor living habits , more and more women suffer from adenomyosis, also known as "immortal cancer." It can be imagined that this disease is more serious. Now, let's understand adenomyosis and the causes of this disease.

What is adenomyosis?

Adenomyosis refers to the benign infiltration of the endometrium into the myometrium and its diffuse growth. It is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium and glands in the myometrium of the uterus, accompanied by hypertrophy and proliferation of myometrial cells around it.

The main symptoms of adenomyosis are excessive menstruation, prolonged menstruation, and progressive dysmenorrhea. The pain is located in the middle of the lower abdomen and usually starts one week before menstruation until the end. About 35% of patients have no typical symptoms.

Among patients with adenomyosis, menorrhagia is 40%~50%, characterized by excessive menstrual bleeding in several consecutive menstrual cycles, generally greater than 80 ml, and affects women's physical, psychological, social, and economic quality of life.

Excessive menstruation is mainly related to the increased endometrial area, myometrial dysplasia caused by myometrial fiber hyperplasia, and endometrial hyperplasia. The incidence of dysmenorrhea in adenomyosis is 15%~30%. Gynecologic examination showed that the uterus was uniformly enlarged or had localized nodule protrusion, hardness, and tenderness, and passion was more evident during the menstrual period.

Six root causes of adenomyosis

1. Uterine surgery

Women who have undergone uterine surgery are much more likely to suffer from adenomyosis than those who have not. This is because the process of uterine surgery is very likely to bring endometrial fragments into the myometrium, which may also damage the myometrium, thus increasing the incidence rate of adenomyosis. Current medical research shows that uterine surgery is the biggest factor causing adenomyosis.

2. Age factor

According to statistics, most patients with adenomyosis are slightly older women, mainly aged 30 to 50. Research shows that women at this age are more likely to suffer from adenomyosis. In women at this age, the ovarian function is shrinking and aging , ovarian ovulation is rare until it stops, the estrogen level is relatively increased, and the progesterone level is relatively low, leading to ovarian dysfunction.

If the estrogen level in the body is too high, the endometrium will proliferate excessively and spread to the myometrium, which is easy to induce adenomyosis.

3. Always eat foods with high estrogen

To maintain themselves, many women will choose to eat some foods with high nutrition and beauty care, such as donkey-hide gelatin, royal jelly, etc., and ignore their appetite. They will eat a lot of such foods on weekdays. Long-term consumption of high estrogen foods such as donkey-hide gelatin and royal jelly will increase women's risk of suffering from uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, and other diseases. Therefore, female friends should not blindly eat some foods with high estrogen, which will have adverse effects on the body.

4. Bad lifestyle

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, going to bed early and getting up early is the best way to maintain the body. And staying up late, getting up early, and keeping some bad habits , such as smoking and drinking, will increase the disease risk. For women, a poor lifestyle will increase the risk of women suffering from gynecological diseases, such as uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, and so on.
5. Sexual disorder

After adulthood, especially after marriage , women will have sex. When sexual life is disordered or frequent, this will increase the risk of women suffering from gynecological diseases. Sex during menstruation or unclean sex can induce adenomyosis.

6. Genetic factor

In addition to the above reasons, genetic factors can also lead to adenomyosis. Research shows that adenomyosis has a family aggregation and genetic tendency. Medical experts believe that the incidence of adenomyosis caused by genetic factors is related to environmental factors.

Understanding the root causes of adenomyosis can lead to better treatment. For the treatment of adenomyosis, the first step is to determine the severity of adenomyosis. Adenomyosis is a hormone-dependent disease. For patients with mild symptoms, a hysterectomy is not recommended, especially for women of childbearing age who may have fertility requirements.

Therefore, hysterectomy is not recommended, the development of the disease can be observed, and symptomatic treatment can be carried out. For the choice of drugs, hebral medicine Fuyan Pill has a good effect. It can eliminate all symptoms related to adenomyosis, clean up the uterine environment, and increase the chance of natural pregnancy .

In addition, patients should keep their perineum clean and wash it with warm water once or twice a day. Secondly, patients should not be tired. They can use listening to music, participating in recreational activities, and other ways to distract and reduce physical and mental fatigue. Thirdly, when the patient has severe back pain, massage should relieve the pain in the waist and abdomen and increase comfort.

At the same time, patients must pay attention to the weather changes to avoid cold. Don't do strenuous activities during menstruation.

Finally, if you are already a patient with adenomyosis, you must maintain emotional stability before and during menstruation and not overwork. Once the tension in the capsule cavity suddenly rises, the capsule wall ruptures and forms an acute abdomen.
