Is dysmenorrhea the same as adenomyosis?

As women's life pressure increases, the probability of suffering from adenomyosis is also increasing, but in fact many patients do not have a clear understanding of this disease. So, is dysmenorrhea the same as adenomyosis?

Dysmenorrhea is one of the symptoms of adenomyosis, but it does not represent the disease itself.

Adenomyosis is a diffuse or localized lesion formed by the invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium. It often leads to symptoms such as secondary dysmenorrhea and increased menstrual flow, thus seriously affecting women's physical and mental health. Currently, there are many treatment options, and individualized treatment is often carried out according to the patient's age, fertility needs, etc.

Here are some dietary treatments for adenomyosis:

1. Tumor-eliminating eggs

Add 2 eggs, 5 Chinese medicinal geckos, 9 grams of Curcuma zedoaria, and 400 grams of water and cook together. When the eggs are cooked, peel them and continue cooking. Discard the medicine and eat the eggs. Take once a night.

Efficacy: dispersing nodules and relieving pain, dispelling wind and calming convulsions. Suitable for qi stagnation and blood stasis.

2. Two Fresh Soup

Slice 120 grams of fresh lotus root and chop 120 grams of fresh imperata root, boil them in water and drink the juice as tea.

Efficacy: nourishing yin and cooling blood, removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding. Suitable for heavy menstruation and blood heat and blood stasis.

3. Tremella and lotus root soup

25 grams of white fungus, 10 grams of lotus root powder, and appropriate amount of rock sugar. After soaking the white fungus, add appropriate amount of rock sugar and stew it until it is soft, then add lotus root powder and drink it.

Efficacy: It has the effect of clearing away heat, moistening dryness and stopping bleeding. Suitable for those with heavy menstrual flow and bright red blood.

Chili peppers and peppercorns can also have an impact on patients with adenomyosis. Some patients with dysmenorrhea already have heavy menstrual flow, and eating spicy, warm, and irritating foods will aggravate pelvic congestion and inflammation, or cause excessive contraction of the uterine muscles, thereby aggravating dysmenorrhea.
