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 manipulations in the uterus.

There is adenomyosis, the treatment of which shouldcarry out 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 is the adenomyosis of the uterus, whose treatmenta long and painstaking process, with the help of a gynecologist's examination and colposcopy. This is a study under the microscope of the cervix when it is stained with various solutions.

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

Signs of adenomyosis, treatment of folk remedies 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;

• disturbance of the cycle, more often its shortening;

• soreness during sex;

• PMS;

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

Most often, adenomyosis occurs after 35. However, this diagnosis is increasingly given to young women. During menopause the regress of this disease is observed. On this phenomenon, the treatment of this disease is based.

In this case, the 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 conservativetreatment is not effective, apply surgery. With her help, the anatomy of the organs is restored, disturbed by inflammation. This removes the maximum number of its foci. Such treatment begins with the third stage.

After the operation, the woman is several days inhospital 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.

Many women have no adenomyosissymptoms. In this case, it is rarely diagnosed and does not require treatment, but only observation. At this stage, the disease does not interfere with the onset of pregnancy.
