What are the means for diagnosing adenomyosis?

Adenomyosis occurs when endometrial tissue, which normally lines the uterus, exists within and grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. The cause of adenomyosis remains unknown, but the disease typically disappears after menopause. For women who experience severe discomfort from adenomyosis, herbal medicine named Fuyan Pill could be helpful.

Many women don’t know how to diagnose adenomyosis when they think they may suffer adenomyosis. Previously histological examination of hysterectomy specimens was the only means for diagnosing adenomyosis. However recently both MRI and transvaginal scan examinations are used for the pre-surgical diagnosis of the disease.

MRI is very sensitive in showing widening of the junctional zone but transvaginal scan examination could also be 80% sensitive in diagnosing adenomyosis. Moreover transvaginal scanning could facilitate needle biopsy and histological examination of suspected areas.

Though adenomyotic glands are not fully responsive to progesterone yet transvaginal scan examinations during the luteal phase is more likely to give a better illustration of subendometrial focal lesions in my experience.

On the other hand hysteroscopy is not very useful in establishing the diagnosis in most cases. A hysteroscopically directed single biopsy is less than 20% sensitive in diagnosing adenomyosis. However it has 100% specificity when the correct area has been biopsied. The low sensitivity could be improved by using transvaginal scan directed biopsies.

If you are diagnosed with adenomyosis, you can choose Fuyan Pill. Fuyan Pill has high rate of success for treating adenomyosis. The biggest advantage of Fuyan Pill is that it doesn’t have any side effects and drug resistance as it is herbal medicine.
