Health care providers who supply primary care to women will at some time encounter a patient presenting with symptoms of abnormal uterine bleeding and secondary dysmenorrhea. Adenomyosis, an elusive uterine disease, is a frequently ignored causative factor of these symptoms. Adenomyosis is considered a benign uterine condition in which the endometrial glands embed into the myometrium of the uterus. It is usually found in multiparous, middle-aged women who present with heavy, painful, cyclical bleeding associated with menstruation. This article addresses the incidence, etiology, symptomatology, and treatment modalities for adenomyosis. Implications for health care providers are discussed.
为女性提供初级保健服务的医疗保健人员有时会遇到出现异常子宫出血和继发性痛经症状的患者。子宫腺肌病是一种难以捉摸的子宫疾病，是这些症状经常被忽视的致病因素。子宫腺肌病被认为是一种良性子宫病症，其中子宫内膜腺体嵌入子宫肌层。它通常在经产妇、中年女性中出现，伴有与月经相关的大量、疼痛性、周期性出血。本文探讨了子宫腺肌病的发病率、病因、症状和治疗方式。还讨论了对医疗保健人员的影响。
