Adenomyosis: Causes and Symptoms | Aegis Roen HIFU Center

Adenomyosis

A condition in which tissue from the uterine lining settles and grows in the uterine muscle, thickening it and causing various symptoms

Adenomyosis 10–20% of women of childbearing age have adenomyosis,
and it can also
cause infertility and miscarriage.

When the uterine lining or similar tissue grows outside the uterine cavity
(uterine muscle, ovaries, fallopian tubes, peritoneum, ligaments around the uterus, bladder, vaginal wall, etc.),
it is called endometriosis,
and when it grows inside the uterine muscle, it is called adenomyosis.

Causes of adenomyosis

There are two theories: that tissue from the uterine lining grows into the uterine muscle,
or that the uterine muscle tissue changes and becomes similar to lining tissue.

Cause 1
Persistently high levels of the female hormone
Estrogen is involved in the growth of adenomyosis
and can lead to it.
Cause 2
Changes in the uterine muscle tissue
can make it similar to lining tissue,
leading to adenomyosis.
Cause 3
Other factors,
such as genetics, hormone imbalance
and stress

Symptoms of adenomyosis

Severe pain, bleeding and pressure

Lower belly pain and chronic pelvic pain
Long-lasting chronic pelvic pain is one of the main
symptoms of adenomyosis.
You feel pain in the lower belly, together with
a tight, squeezing pain in the pelvis.
Heavy periods
Period pain gets worse, ongoing bleeding can cause
anemia, periods may start about a week early,
and bleeding becomes heavier.
This is because the lining and glandular tissue
cause extra bleeding during the cycle
and make periods heavier.
Miscarriage and infertility
Adenomyosis can cause infertility
and miscarriage, so it must be treated
early.
Along with heavy periods and other symptoms, it can also cause
pregnancy complications.

For adenomyosis, surgery
can make future pregnancy and childbirth impossible.

If an unmarried woman's gynecologic ultrasound shows fibroids or another uterine condition,
she should decide on treatment with a specialist. Treating it with surgery such as removal of the fibroid or the uterus can make future pregnancy and childbirth impossible.

Hysterectomy

Surgery that removes the whole uterus
because the fibroid is large

Laparoscopic surgery

Surgery that removes the fibroid with instruments
through small cuts
instead of a large abdominal incision

Myomectomy

Surgery that removes
the fibroid itself

· Complications such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation may occur after surgery or the procedure.
Furthermore, subjective satisfaction levels may vary among individuals. Therefore, please consult with a specialist.
