What is the difference between hysteromyoma and adenomyoma

First: uterine fibroids and adenomyosis in the etiology and age differences: two diseases are caused by high estrogen levels in women, common in women aged 30-50. Hysteromyoma is mainly caused by the proliferation of smooth muscle, which is common at childbearing age; adenomyosis is caused by the invasion of the basal layer of endometrium into the myometrium, which mostly occurs in multipara, and is related to the damage of the basal layer of endometrium caused by multiple pregnancy, childbirth, artificial abortion, etc.
