What is adenomyoma

summary

Hysteromyoma is one of the most common gynecological diseases in women. For women who will often have physical examination, the discovery of adenomyoma is usually in the early stage. I would like to share the relevant knowledge of adenomyoma with you.

What is adenomyoma

First of all, adenomyosis is a diffuse or localized disease caused by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium, which is a common gynecological disease.

Then adenomyosis used to occur in multiparous women over 40 years old, but in recent years, the age of patients with adenomyosis is generally younger, which may be related to the increase of cesarean section, artificial abortion and other operations.

Finally, the etiology of adenomyosis is still unknown. The current consensus is that because of the lack of submucosa in the uterus, the basal layer cells of the endometrium proliferate and invade into the myometrium, accompanied by the compensatory hypertrophy and proliferation of the surrounding myometrium cells. There are four theories about the factors that cause the proliferation and invasion of endometrial basal layer cells: ① it is related to heredity; ② uterine injury, such as curettage and cesarean section, can increase the incidence of adenomyosis; ③ hyperestrogenemia and hyperprolactinemia; ④ viral infection; ⑤ reproductive tract obstruction, which increases the pressure of uterine cavity during menstruation, leading to endometriosis to the myometrium of uterus.
