Symptoms of early adenomyosis

Many young women are particularly prone to adenomyosis, which is also a type of infertility disease. This disease is very harmful to women's bodies. Adenomyosis may cause infertility after it occurs. If infertility occurs in women who have not given birth, the harm is great and may harm a family. Adenomyosis can also cause cancer. So what are the symptoms of early adenomyosis?

The causes of adenomyosis are clinically divided into several factors, including genetics, uterine damage, viral infection, and excessive estrogen, all of which may lead to the occurrence of adenomyosis. The symptoms of adenomyosis are mainly manifested in the following points.

1. Menstrual disorders (40-50%): The main manifestations are prolonged menstrual period and increased menstrual volume. Some patients may also experience spotting before and after menstruation. This is because the uterus increases in size, the area of ​​the endometrium increases, and the lesions within the uterine muscle wall affect the contraction of uterine muscle fibers. Severe cases may lead to anemia.

2. Dysmenorrhea (25%): characterized by secondary progressive dysmenorrhea. It often begins a week before menstruation and is relieved when the menstrual period ends. This is because during menstruation, the ectopic endometrium in the myometrium becomes congested, swollen, and bleeds under the influence of ovarian hormones. At the same time, it increases the blood volume in the myometrium blood vessels, causing the thick myometrium to expand and cause severe dysmenorrhea.

3. About 35% of patients have no obvious symptoms.

Signs

Gynecological examination shows that the uterus is often uniformly enlarged and spherical, and adenomyoma may appear as hard nodules. The uterus is generally no larger than 12 weeks of pregnancy. As the menstrual period approaches, the uterus feels tender; during the menstrual period, the uterus enlarges, becomes softer, and the tenderness is more obvious than usual; after the menstrual period, the uterus shrinks. This periodic change in physical signs is one of the important bases for diagnosing this disease. The uterus is often adhered to the surrounding area, especially the rectum at the back, and has poor mobility. About 15-40% of patients have concomitant endometriosis, and about half of patients have concomitant uterine fibroids.

Diet therapy:

Dietary considerations for patients with uterine fibroids

1. The diet should be light and avoid eating irritating foods such as mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, and black fish.

2. Avoid spicy foods and drinks such as chili peppers, peppercorns, raw onions, raw garlic, and white wine.

3. Prohibited foods: longan, placenta, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, royal jelly (Note: honey is sweet, mild, neither warm nor dry, and is not included in this list) and other foods that are hot, coagulant, and contain hormones.

4. Eat more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, turtle, white fish, cabbage, asparagus, celery, spinach, cucumber, winter melon, mushrooms, tofu, kelp, seaweed, fruits, etc.

In addition to the diet and lifestyle of adenomyoma, you need to pay attention to:

(1) Avoid excessive fatigue, especially during menstruation.

(2) Eat more vegetables and fruits and less spicy food.

(3) Keep the vulva clean and dry, and wear loose underwear. If there is too much vaginal discharge, you should remember to flush the vulva at any time.

(4) After being diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you should go to the hospital for a check-up once a month. If the fibroids grow slowly or not at all, you can have a follow-up check every six months. If they grow significantly, surgical treatment should be considered to avoid severe bleeding or compression of abdominal organs.

Adenomyosis is a gynecological disease. During treatment, the dietary improvements we proposed above are also very important.
