Introduction
Adenomyosis refers to adenomyosis of the uterus. Causes include increasing age, irregular lifestyle, damage to the basal layer of the endometrium, chronic endometritis, and endometriosis. To prevent uterine adenomyosis, it is important to maintain regular living habits, avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress, practice good personal hygiene, minimize unnecessary surgical procedures, and carefully manage sexual activity.
Generally, adenomyosis refers to adenomyosis of the uterus. There is no such thing as saying there is no best treatment for uterine adenomyosis. Possible causes of uterine adenomyosis include aging, irregular lifestyle habits, damage to the basal layer of the endometrium, chronic endometritis, endometriosis, and others. Treatment options include general management and medication therapy. If discomfort occurs, timely medical consultation is recommended. Specific analysis is as follows:
1. Aging
With increasing age, women experience gradual decline in ovarian function, leading to changes in hormone levels—particularly imbalances in estrogen and progesterone secretion—which may stimulate abnormal proliferation of the endometrium and myometrium, thereby triggering uterine adenomyosis. It is advisable to maintain healthy lifestyle habits and avoid excessive fatigue.
2. Irregular Lifestyle Habits
Long-term sleep deprivation, overwork, and high mental stress can disrupt the body's endocrine system, affecting normal secretion of estrogen and progesterone and potentially causing uterine adenomyosis. Adjusting daily routines, ensuring sufficient sleep, maintaining a positive mood, and reducing psychological stress are recommended.
3. Damage to the Basal Layer of the Endometrium
Repeated abortions or procedures such as dilation and curettage may injure the basal layer of the endometrium, allowing endometrial tissue to invade the uterine muscle layer and lead to adenomyosis. This condition may also be accompanied by symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders. Patients may take medications such as Compound Norethisterone Tablets, Compound Medroxyprogesterone Acetate Tablets, or Shaofu Zhuyu Granules under medical guidance.
4. Chronic Endometritis
Chronic endometritis is usually caused by unhygienic sexual practices or poor personal hygiene, which may result in abnormal proliferation and adhesions of endometrial tissue. Over time, this can lead to uterine adenomyosis. Symptoms may include lower abdominal pain and increased vaginal discharge. Under medical supervision, patients may use medications such as Levofloxacin Tablets, Fule Granules, or Jingangteng Capsules for treatment.
5. Endometriosis
Endometriosis occurs when endometrial tissue grows outside the uterine cavity. This ectopic endometrial tissue responds to ovarian hormones, undergoing cyclic bleeding and causing pain. When such tissue invades the uterine muscle layer, it may trigger adenomyosis. Symptoms may also include infertility and painful intercourse. Patients should follow medical advice to use medications such as Gestrinone Capsules, Mifepristone Tablets, or Danzhi Xiaoyao Pills.
In daily life, it is important to maintain regular living habits, avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress, pay attention to personal hygiene, minimize unnecessary surgical procedures, and practice safe sexual behavior.
