How to treat postmenopausal adenomyosis

Adenomyosis often occurs between the ages of 35 and 50. There are many treatments. The specific treatment should be selected according to your own situation. So how to treat adenomyosis after amenorrhea?

1. Symptomatic treatment: For patients with mild symptoms, it is only necessary to relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea, especially for patients near menopause, who can choose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to treat dysmenorrhea. Since the ectopic endometrium will gradually shrink after menopause, the pain will be relieved after menopause and no surgical treatment is required.

2. Pseudo-pregnancy therapy: Some scholars believe that oral contraceptives or progesterone can cause the ectopic endometrium to decidualize and atrophy, thus controlling the development of adenomyosis. However, some scholars believe that the ectopic endometrium of adenomyosis is mostly basal endometrium, which is insensitive to progesterone. The effect of progesterone in treating adenomyosis is still controversial.

Dietary Note:

1. Do not eat spicy food: Some patients with dysmenorrhea have heavy menstruation. Eating spicy, warm, and irritating foods will aggravate pelvic congestion and inflammation, or cause excessive contraction of uterine muscles, aggravating dysmenorrhea. Patients with dysmenorrhea should try to eat less or no chili peppers, pepper, and garlic.

2. Don’t eat sour food: Acidic food has astringent effect, which makes blood stagnant and is not conducive to the smooth flow and discharge of menstrual blood. Patients with dysmenorrhea should try to avoid eating such food during menstruation. Acidic food includes rice vinegar, hot and sour vegetables, kimchi, sour dates, mango, apricots, plums, lemons, etc.
