Adenomyosis and pregnancy - how these two conditions are compatible? Experts believe that pregnancy is possible even in advanced adenomyosis. But it is possible and infertility - the reasons for its development in the adenomyosis too. If the pregnancy is, it certainly will benefit the woman.

What happens to the uterus at the time of adenomyosis

One of the causes of adenomyosis is elevated blood female hormone estrogen, which support the first half of the menstrual cycle. Usually, the female sex hormone the second half of the menstrual cycle, progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology   in the body of a woman produces enough. Under the influence of estrogen grows over the mucosa of the uterus - the endometrium. Rejection is accompanied by a thick layer of endometrial severe menstrual bleeding during which mucosal cells fall into the muscle layer of the uterus and begin to grow there under the influence of cyclic hormone. These areas of tissue are identical to the endometrium and endometriosis.

The muscle layer of the uterus, which are endometriosis Endometriosis - a serious problem with serious consequences   undergoes certain changes. Monthly rejection areas of endometriosis, accompanied by bleeding, causing inflammation and swelling in the surrounding smooth muscle. The inflammatory process ends with the death of the muscle fibers and their replacement by connective tissue.

The uterus also may develop disorders. The fact is that during menstruation blood, which occurs when separating portions endometriosis partially released into the uterine cavity through the micro-posts. Thus mucosal integrity is broken, which may lead to the development inside the uterus adhesions - connective cords. But there is not always spikes. Sometimes they do not happen.

What are the benefits for pregnant women suffering from adenomyosis

Status of pregnancy is certainly useful for women suffering adenomyosis Adenomyosis - avoid constant stress As for forty weeks she had no menstruation, the endometrium is not separated from the wall of the uterus, and therefore also not endometriosis undergoing cyclic changes and proliferate. In some cases, they regress, but it does not happen so often, and usually in the early stages of the disease. Therefore, obstetricians generally do not dissuade women suffering from adenomyosis, pregnancy.

Adenomyosis and pregnancy - what is the danger?

The dangers can trap a woman at the very beginning of pregnancy. First of all, it has a value insufficient blood levels of progesterone. This hormone is particularly necessary in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy, as it inhibits the contraction of smooth muscle of the uterus and thereby prevent abortion - abortion. How to cope with this situation? It will obstetrician-gynecologist of female consultation - an appointment synthetic analogues of progesterone.

Next danger - a state of the uterine wall. The modified wall of the uterus can not be stretched so quickly because of the muscle fibers it has been replaced by connective tissue, which does not stretch at all. The wall of the uterus may be thinner and then later in pregnancy there is a risk of its rupture. What to do? Constantly observed in female consultation - the doctor always has the opportunity to send a woman to the US, which will determine the thickness of the wall of the uterus and the risk of its rupture. If the threat is high, do a caesarean section.

Finally, the threat to the pregnancy may be able to uterus. If it has spikes, then the growth of the fetus and they squeeze it, was forced to take a forced situation. By the time of birth the fetus can take the wrong position, excluding natural childbirth. In this case also caesarean section.

One of the most unpleasant complications of adenomyosis is associated with premature detachment of the placenta. This may occur if the placenta is located near the site of endometriosis or directly under it. All changes in the placenta can be seen on the ultrasound, so you just need to be in a timely manner to receive and fulfill all the prescribing physician.

Similarly, an ultrasound will be visible changes in the vessels of the placenta, which may lead to the development of placental insufficiency Placental insufficiency - deviation from the norm . The doctor in this case avoids complications child.

Thus, pregnancy when adenomyosis possible and even useful. But in order to carry and give birth to a healthy baby, a woman must always be seen in the antenatal clinic and fulfill all the prescribing physician. If you get pregnant on their own can not, then in this case, an obstetrician-gynecologist is almost always able to help.

During pregnancy a woman's body all systems and organs are changing the pace of work, which is due to hormonal changes. Accordingly, beginning to appear the first signs of pregnancy The first signs of pregnancy to delay: Eyes on intuition? Which can be seen after a missed period. It is no secret that there are more early warning signs of nascent life before the advent of the two coveted strips during a pregnancy test. And it is very few people familiar with the peculiar symptoms of pregnancy, which is often called folk. Such people's symptoms often lead women to confusion and even scare them. Suffice it known early sign of pregnancy Early signs of pregnancy: to believe or not to believe?   is the appearance of "spider veins".

"Spider veins" during pregnancy

Traditional signs of pregnancy, as it is official, begin to appear before a delay monthly Delayed menstruation - when to sound the alarm? . Of course, they can not confidently be called evidence ensuing pregnancy, but they have a right to exist. One of the indirect signs of pregnancy are considered "spider veins".

"Spider veins" or spider hemangiomas (telangiectasia) is a cluster of enlarged and dilated small blood vessels. Such vessels are usually diverge from one point in the form of stars or spiders' legs. The appearance of "spider veins" due to hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy, in particular the enhanced production of pregnancy hormone - progesterone. During childbearing breasts undergo changes and are prepared for the future of lactation. The growth of the mammary glands, "blame" the hormones of pregnancy. Due to the proliferation of estrogen occurs ducts and progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology   It increases the amount of glandular tissue, and thus expand and increase the microvessels. In addition, provoke "spider veins" can be prolonged exposure to the sun or in hot, humid areas (sauna). As a rule, telangiectasia during pregnancy localized in the chest, shoulders, and / face. The most characteristic appearance of spider hemangiomas in the chest. The appearance of telangiectasia associated with the redistribution of the blood by increasing the blood flow in the breast. Sami "stars" do not cause pain, and some are just cosmetic defect. Afraid of the appearance of "spider veins" is not worth it, after giving birth, they disappear on their own and without a trace.

The appearance of telangiectasia is accompanied by a change in the color and shape of nipples. The nipples become larger, and the peripapillary region of dark brown color, which is also due to the influence of progesterone. The pain and engorgement also belong to the early signs of pregnancy, but breast tenderness is not related to the appearance of "spider veins".

If the "spider veins" do not disappear after childbirth

In very rare cases, telangiectasias on the chest, shoulders and face did not disappear after the birth. Sure, it gives a woman great discomfort. And yet, get rid of them is quite real:

• Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy - this medical procedures in which the venous net very thin needle is introduced a special sclerosing solution. This solution irritate the inner walls of blood vessels, leading to their coalescence. After two or three weeks at the site of the scar solution formed, which eventually disappears. The number of procedures varies, depending on the severity of telangiectasia. Side effects during sclerotherapy are rare, but quite possible (bruising, swelling, brown spots and sores).

• Laser therapy

The most successful method in the fight against "spider veins" is the laser treatment. The laser destroyed small blood vessels, and surface damage of the skin is observed. In some cases it requires repeated sessions. Laser therapy is painless and safe. In some cases, it may cause burns (as a complication of treatment). The advantages of laser treatment is the lack of bruising, swelling and bruising.
