Nowadays, many women have uterine adenomyosis. Some women have obvious symptoms, while others have no symptoms. This can easily delay the treatment time of the condition. Endometriosis is also a common disease, and its symptoms are somewhat similar. Many people are asking whether adenomyosis is endometriosis?
Adenomyosis does not belong to endometriosis, but both diseases are caused by growth function endometriosis. But there is a difference between adenomyosis and endometriosis, the main difference being that endometriosis is caused by the shedding of active endometrial tissue, which is covered by the endometrium.
Endometriosis can cause pelvic pain, but adenomyosis is the direct invasion of ectopic endometrium into the uterine muscle layer, often with a history of uterine cavity. The clinical manifestation of the patient is a significant increase in menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation, and also dysmenorrhea. Patients with more severe symptoms not only experience dysmenorrhea, but also pain after their menstrual period, frequent constipation, thigh pain, etc., which need to be taken seriously by patients.
Patients with adenomyosis may have ectopic endometrium in the uterine muscle layer, which can be accompanied by bleeding during menstruation, leading to edema at the lesion site. And the swelling of the lesion will gradually disappear after a period of time after menstruation, which is why patients still have pain after menstruation. This situation can only be left to nature.
