Adenomyosis of the uterus: treatment, diagnosis, causes, consequences

Today, adenomyosis of the uterus, whose treatment can be conservative and operative, is a common but little studied disease. For example, it is not known exactly why it occurs.

Scientists suggest that the cause of adenomyosis can be:

• Genetic predisposition;

• Stress, constant emotional stress;

• Heavy physical activity;

• Ultraviolet irradiation;

• mud baths;

• Surgical manipulation in the uterus.

There is adenomyosis, which should be treated by an experienced gynecologist-endocrinologist, in that endometrial cells grow in the muscular layer (myometrium) of the uterus, and not only in its cavity. During the cycle, they increase, preparing for implantation of the embryo.

If pregnancy does not occur, the excess endometrium is rejected and comes out with monthly ones. In myometrium, there are no ways out, so there is a hemorrhage that provokes inflammation.

Endometrium can also grow in other organs. They are found in the ovaries, on the cervix, in the fallopian tubes. These pathological conditions are called endometriosis.

Diagnosis of adenomyosis of the uterus, whose treatment is a long and painstaking process, with the help of a gynecologist's examination and colposcopy. This study under the microscope of the cervix with its staining with various solutions.

The doctor takes smears and gives direction to ultrasound. As a rule, these methods of research allow you to confirm or deny the diagnosis. Sometimes laparoscopy and hysteroscopy can be additionally prescribed to confirm it and to determine the extent of the lesion.

Signs of adenomyosis, treatment of folk remedies of which is possible only after its approval by the attending physician, are as follows:

• Pain before, during and after menstruation, they become abundant;

• Sparing excretions before and after them;

• Violation of the cycle, more often its shortening;

• Soreness during sex;

• PMS;

• When examined at the gynecologist, the uterus is enlarged and round.

The most common adenomyosis occurs after 35. However, this diagnosis is increasingly placed on young women. During menopause the regress of this disease is observed. On this phenomenon, the treatment of this disease is based.

Apply hormonal and immunologic drugs. In this case, adenomyosis of the uterus, whose treatment should be started only after examination by an endocrinologist, immunologist, an allergist and a number of other specialists, can not be completely won. Success is considered if all its signs have disappeared.

In especially severe cases, when conservative treatment is not effective, surgery is used. With her help, the anatomy of the organs is restored, disturbed by inflammation. This removes the maximum number of its foci. This treatment begins with the third stage.

After the operation, the woman is several days in the hospital under the supervision of a doctor. After discharge, he visits the doctor every week to avoid complications. Then she needs to visit the gynecologist twice a year.

Today, in addition to traditional methods, new methods are used. One of them is electrocoagulation. With its help, lesions with anesthesia are painlessly removed.

In many women, adenomyosis is not accompanied by symptoms. In this case, it is rarely diagnosed and does not require treatment, but only observation. At this stage, the disease does not prevent the onset of pregnancy.

So, adenomyosis of the uterus, whose treatment depends on the stage of the disease, can give a woman unpleasant sensations and even lead to infertility. Apply surgical, conservative, as well as new methods to improve the condition of patients. A complete elimination of the symptoms of the disease is considered a cure. Scientists adenomyosis is still not sufficiently studied, as well as the causes of its occurrence.
