What causes adenomyosis?

Adenomyosis is one of the most common and difficult to cure gynecological diseases. The current research on the cause of adenomyosis is still unclear. It is generally believed that the lesions in which endometrial and stromal cells invade the myometrium are caused by the lack of lower mucosa in the uterus. So, what is the cause of adenomyosis?

1. Abortion and cesarean section: Some women do not pay attention to family planning in their daily lives or pursue "perfect" cesarean section births. The uterine wall is damaged, causing the endometrial basal cells to invade the uterine myometrium along the damaged site and grow ectopically, leading to adenomyosis.

2. Excessive estrogen: Adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. Studies have shown that the occurrence of adenomyosis is related to excessive estrogen in the patient's body. Some women like to eat some high-estrogen foods and supplements every day, such as donkey-hide gelatin, royal jelly, seafood, etc., which can easily lead to excessive estrogen in the body, promote the development of the endometrium to the myometrium, and induce adenomyosis.

3. Genetic factors: Since the occurrence of adenomyosis shows certain family clustering and genetic tendencies, studies have shown that the occurrence of adenomyosis is related to certain genetic factors.

4. Reproductive tract obstruction: Due to congenital or acquired diseases and other factors, some women have obstructed menstrual blood flow and increased intrauterine pressure, which causes the endometrium to dislocate to the myometrium, leading to adenomyosis.

There are many causes of adenomyosis, which is very harmful to women. It is recommended that female friends pay attention to their health care every day and get timely examination and treatment after the disease is discovered.
