Differentiation Between Endometriosis and Adenomyosis

Both endometriosis and adenomyosis belong to endometrial diseases. The pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and sensitivity to hormones of endometriosis and adenomyosis are different.

The former is more sensitive to hormones, while the latter is not sensitive to hormones. Therefore, drug treatment has a better effect on the former. Many scholars believe that the two are not the same diseases, and their commonality is that both are regulated by ovarian hormones.

Endometriosis usually occurs in the ovary. Endometriosis is where the endometrium grows beyond the endometrium. The main pathological changes of endometriosis are periodic hemorrhage of the endometriosis and its surrounding tissue fibrosis, forming ectopic nodules, progressive aggravated dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, sexual discomfort, as well as the increased amount of menstruation, menstrual duration extension and so on as the main clinical symptoms.

The lesions can affect all pelvic tissues and organs, and are most common in the ovary, uterine rectum, and sacral ligaments.

Adenomyosis refers to the benign infiltration of the endometrium to the muscle layer and diffuse growth therein. It is characterized by the appearance of ectopic endometrium and glands in the uterine muscle layer, accompanied by hypertrophy and proliferation of muscle cells around it.

Young women suffering from endometriosis are more likely to develop infertility.

For Endometriosis, antibiotics, surgery, and radiotherapy can be applied for treatment, but the corresponding side effects are large, there are certain damage to the liver and kidney, long-term use of antibiotics will cause osteoporosis and the pain recurrence rate is high, this can cause negative impact on women's physical health. There can also be ovarian function damage and other disadvantages.

Adenomyosis can be treated with drugs or surgery, but there are adverse reactions or the possibility of recurrence after surgery, or the possibility of deterioration due to residual endometrial glands.

At this time, the proposed treatment plan is to use natural herbal medicine Fuyan Pill. It can effectively eliminate the symptoms of Endometriosis and Adenomyosis and improve the internal environment of the uterus.
