Is uterine adenomyoma uterine myoma

summary

Many patients will confuse hysteromyoma and adenomyosis. Although these two diseases occur in the uterus, they are two diseases with different etiology, pathogenesis and clinical manifestations. In order to prevent this kind of misunderstanding, let me introduce them to you.

Is uterine adenomyoma uterine myoma

First, in terms of organizational structure. Adenomyoma is a kind of endometriosis. When the endometrium is not in its normal part, but in any other part of the body, it is called endometriosis. The ectopic endometrium is also composed of glands and stroma. According to whether the focus is diffuse or limited, it is called adenomyosis or adenomyoma. Hysteromyoma is the most common benign tumor in female reproductive organs, which is mainly composed of smooth muscle and connective tissue. It is also known as uterine fibroma, uterine fibromyoma and uterine leiomyoma. The exact cause of the disease is unclear, and it is believed that it may be related to long-term and excessive estrogen. Myoma mostly grows in the body of uterus, and a few in the neck of uterus.

Second: in terms of clinical manifestations. The main manifestations of adenomyosis are dysmenorrhea, progressive aggravation of dysmenorrhea, painful intercourse, irregular menstruation (prolonged or increased menstruation). Hysteromyoma is not easy to be found in the early stage, and the symptoms are not obvious. When myoma bigger, or growth of submucous membrane will show irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea and other phenomena.

Third: in terms of the influence of ultrasound. Adenomyosis, by ultrasound examination showed that the uterus is enlarged, full and spherical, local thickening of uterine wall, mostly showing partial hyperechoic or hyperechoic. When the larger myoma or myoma grows outwards, it will show irregular uterine morphology. The ultrasonic manifestations of myoma are mainly hypoechoic or hypoechoic.
