Causes of adenomyosis

The occurrence of adenomyosis is mainly related to genetic factors, environmental influences and personal physiological and pathological changes, and is the result of the combined action of multiple factors.

The role of genetic factors in adenomyosis cannot be ignored. Studies have shown that women with this disease often have a family history, especially female patients among close relatives may have a higher risk of disease. Environmental influences include exposure to certain environmental toxins, hormone substances, etc., such as excessive use of estrogen-containing drugs, exposure to pollutants, etc., which will interfere with hormone balance and increase the risk of disease. Physiologically, there are problems such as abnormal menstruation, weak or dysfunctional uterine wall muscle layer, which may cause endometrial tissue to invade the myometrium and grow. Uterine-related trauma is also a common cause. For example, cesarean section, uterine curettage and other operations will destroy the boundaries of the myometrium and increase the risk of endometrial tissue diffusion. Among the pathological factors, chronic uterine inflammation, myometrial congestion and other problems may further induce adenomyosis by damaging the normal tissue barrier.

In order to effectively prevent or relieve adenomyosis, women need to have regular gynecological examinations, especially those with a genetic tendency in the family. It is recommended to screen for abnormalities in advance. It is also crucial to reduce the practice of artificial abortions and avoid unnecessary trauma to the uterus. Pay attention to a balanced diet, supplement with anti-inflammatory ingredients such as vitamins E and D in moderation, stay away from environmental pollutants that may interfere with hormone secretion, choose hormone-free foods and cosmetics, and reduce the risk of disease from lifestyle habits. If adenomyosis has been confirmed, drug treatment such as GnRH agonists or placement of the Mirena ring to inhibit endometrial growth can be considered. In severe cases, surgical intervention can be selected depending on the situation. Through comprehensive intervention methods, patients can expect to improve symptoms and improve their quality of life.
