Adenomyosis, a prevalent gynecological disease, is a kind of benign gynecological disease that harms women. When patients are affected by adenomyosis, the symptoms usually are secondary dysmenorrhea, abnormal menstruation, infertility, and uncoordinated sexual life, which requires those with adenomyosis symptoms to pay special attention.

Therefore, although adenomyosis patients can exercise, they should exercise properly to avoid making it more serious.

A lot of adenomyosis patients are complicated with ovarian cysts. Under strenuous exercise, abdominal compression and collision may cause ovarian cyst rupture and abdominal pain.

If women carry out weightlifting training, abdominal pressure will increase, resulting in temporary ptosis of the uterus. Since the uterus of adenomyosis patients is larger than that of normal women, uterine prolapse may occur if long-term overload exercise is carried out.

3. Aggravating abnormal menstruation

Strenuous exercise will inhibit hypothalamic function, lead to abnormal function of the endocrine system, affect the level of sex hormones, and finally interfere with the formation and cycle of menstruation. Adenomyosis patients already have different menstrual abnormalities, and long-term strenuous exercise will worsen the degree. 

Therefore, strenuous exercise is not recommended for adenomyosis patients. Moreover, when patients have some symptoms, it is recommended to treat them in time to avoid aggravation. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is a good choice for the methods of treatment.

Walking is one of the most leisure sports, especially when patients walk with their family members after dinner. They can enjoy the beautiful scenery and meanwhile effectively relax their body and mind; Yoga features soft movements and balanced intensity, so it can help stretch and relax the whole body and mind after regular practice; 

Patients can also choose square dance or ballroom dance based on their conditions. These two kinds of dance do not require large-amount exercise. While dancing to the melody in the rhythm of pop music, patients can not only edify sentiment but also exercise to a certain extent.
