Adenomyosis, an increase in the size of the uterus

Adenomyosis is a condition in which tissue from the endometrial layer, the innermost layer of the uterus, invades the muscle layer of the uterus.

Endometrial tissue has the property of increasing in size with the menstrual cycle, and endometrial tissue that invades the muscle layer of the uterus gradually pushes out the surrounding tissue and increases in size.

Adenomyosis

Causes of Adenomyosis

Although the cause of adenomyosis is not fully understood, it is believed to be caused by genetic factors or an imbalance in hormone secretion in most cases.

Adenomyosis Causes

Symptoms of Adenomyosis

It causes the uterine tissue to produce more blood than normal and increases the contraction of the uterine muscles, the release of inflammatory substances, and nerve overstimulation, resulting in severe, squeezing menstrual cramps that can cause infertility and, in severe cases, infertility.

Heavy menstruation and severe menstrual cramps

It is often accompanied by severe menstrual cramps and anemia due to heavy menstruation.

enlarged uterus

An enlarged uterus can be painful and cause irregular bleeding outside of the menstrual cycle.

Infertility due to intrauterine bleeding

Bleeding in the uterus can prevent implantation of a fertilized egg, causing infertility.

Uterine contractions

Uterine contractions interfere with a stable pregnancy, increasing the chance of an early miscarriage.

Difference between uterine fibroids and adenomyosis

Fibroids and adenomyosis are similar but different conditions. Whereas fibroids are lumps, adenomyosis is a thickening of the uterus caused by abnormal growth of the endometrium into the uterine tissue.

In addition, unlike fibroids, adenomyosis is difficult to treat because the boundaries of the disease are unclear and the lesions are sporadic.

Uterine Fibroids vs Adenomyosis 1

 

▪️ Tumors in which the muscle layers of the uterus are clumped together in a mass

▪️ The presence or absence of symptoms depends on the size and location of the fibroids

▪️ The lesion has a distinct boundary with the surrounding muscle layer, making it relatively easy to detect and remove.

Uterine Fibroids vs Adenomyosis 2

 

▪️ Endometrial tissue abnormally proliferates in the muscle layer

▪️ if you have adenomyosis, you are more likely to have symptoms

▪️ Unclear boundaries between the lesion and normal tissue make treatment and removal more challenging

Treatments for uterine fibroids and adenomyosis

Most fibroids and adenomyosis can be treated with the Haifu procedure, but the effectiveness of the treatment may vary depending on the size, location, and type of lesion.

In some cases, surgical excision may be more appropriate, so it's important to get an accurate diagnosis of your uterine condition to determine if you're a good candidate for a haifu procedure first.

Fibroids are tumors that develop in the muscle layer of the uterus, and adenomyosis is a condition that causes the muscle layer of the uterus to thicken and increase in size.

There is a Haifu procedure that can treat adenomyosis without surgery. When treating adenomyosis, it's important to proceed with pregnancy planning while maintaining the shape of the uterus and preventing the uterine wall from weakening, and the Haifu procedure is best suited for this situation.

Hysterosalpingography uses ultrasound thermal energy to necrolyze uterine lesions, so it can selectively treat only adenomyosis without causing direct damage to the uterus.
