Do I need estrogen supplementation for adenomyosis?

Is estrogen supplementation necessary for adenomyosis?

1. Estrogen can be supplemented for adenomyosis. The endometrium grows under the stimulation of estrogen. Most of the methods to improve the thickness of the endometrium use estrogen. However, Western medicine estrogen has a certain disruptive effect on endocrine. If drug supplementation is needed, it can be improved through traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine uses compound drugs with relatively few side effects.

2. Adenomyosis was first discovered in the mid-19th century. It most often occurs in the pelvic peritoneum, but is also seen in the ovaries, vaginal rectal septum, and ureters, and is rarely seen in the bladder and other parts. Histologically, this ectopic endometrium not only has endometrial glands, but is also surrounded by endometrial stroma. Its function changes significantly with estrogen levels, that is, it changes with the menstrual cycle, but only part of it is affected by progesterone, and can produce a small amount of "menstruation" and cause various clinical phenomena. If the patient becomes pregnant, the ectopic endometrium may have decidual changes. Although this ectopic endometrium grows in other tissues or organs, it is different from the infiltration of malignant tumors.

3. The peak incidence of adenomyosis is between 30 and 40 years old. The actual incidence is much higher than clinical observation. For example, during laparotomy for other gynecological diseases and careful pathological examination of the removed uterine appendage specimens, it can be found that about 20% to 25% of patients have adenomyosis.
