Adenomyosis Non-menstrual pain

Adenomyosis, also known as "adenomyosis", is one of the common but difficult to treat gynecological diseases. Dysmenorrhea is a typical manifestation of this disease. Most patients experience lower abdominal pain during menstruation. The pain lasts for several days during menstruation and becomes more severe each time. Some patients also have pain in the waist and thighs, and some patients also experience distension and pain in the anus. What's worse, the pain occurs even during non-menstrual period. What exactly is the reason for this? Let’s analyze the reasons below.

1. Does non-menstrual pain in adenomyosis vary from person to person or does it mean that the lesion has worsened ?

Answer: Generally, non-menstrual pain may worsen. Non-menstrual pain is related to the edema of the adenomyosis lesions. The edema of the lesions usually disappears slowly in about a week after the menstrual period. The edema of the lesions can also stimulate pain.

2. Can the Mirena IUD relieve adenomyosis dysmenorrhea ?

Answer: This varies from person to person. Some people see results after using it, while others see no results or even feel more pain than before. This mainly depends on personal circumstances.

3. Some people often ask if an enlarged uterus due to adenomyosis means uterine hypertrophy ?

Answer: In fact, most women who have given birth will have this condition. If other disease factors are excluded and the woman has adenomyosis, then it is normal for the uterus to enlarge because there is a lesion inside it. But this is not the same thing as uterine hypertrophy.

5. Do I need to get an injection and an IUD after the operation ?

Answer: For simple adenomyosis, there is no need to take medicine or injections after surgery, but if it is combined with chocolate cysts, you need to take medicine for 3 months or half a year to prevent the recurrence of chocolate cysts.

6. I have adenomyosis . Can I take the contraceptive pill called Yasmin ?

Answer: This medicine can only temporarily relieve symptoms, it cannot cure the disease, and the effect varies from person to person. If you want to eat it, you can try it.

7. If a woman with adenomyosis has heavy menstrual flow and takes hemostatic drugs, will her menstrual period stop coming ?

Answer: Not necessarily. It may be a decrease, or it may be that there is no menstruation.

8. Is the pain of adenomyosis related to emotions ?

Answer: This is related to a certain extent. Factors such as exercise volume, mood, diet, etc. can affect menstrual pain. So be more careful and it’s best not to get angry.
