Does adenomyosis cause excessive vaginal discharge?

After a woman has adenomyosis, her body will undergo some obvious changes and the symptoms will become more obvious. So, will adenomyosis cause more vaginal discharge?

Excessive vaginal discharge is one of the symptoms of adenomyosis, and many people see doctors because of excessive vaginal discharge. But the sensitivity to vaginal discharge varies greatly from person to person. While some women have a lot of vaginal discharge but do not feel any discomfort, others have normal genital secretions or only a slight increase, often with a wet feeling in the vulva, and feel confused and uncomfortable, so they are eager for treatment.

Gynecological examination shows that the uterus is often uniformly enlarged and spherical, and adenomyoma may appear as hard nodules. The uterus is tender near the menstrual period; during the menstrual period, the uterus is enlarged, soft, and tenderness is more obvious than usual; after the menstrual period, the uterus shrinks. The uterus often adheres to the surrounding rectum, especially the posterior rectum, and has poor mobility. Endometriosis is combined in 15%-40%, and uterine fibroids are combined in about half.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that adenomyosis is related to blood stasis, and the formation of blood stasis is related to pathogenic factors such as qi deficiency, condensation, qi stagnation, and phlegm and dampness. In terms of treatment, it is necessary to take blood circulation and blood stasis as the principle, and take into account the causes of blood stasis and the differences between deficiency and excess.

Enema, plastering, and ion introduction of Danshen injection can also be used to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Acupuncture points such as Guanyuan, Zhongji, Hegu, and Sanyinjiao can also be used, or auricular acupuncture points such as uterus, endocrine, and liver can be taken.
