Discussion on the pathogenesis of adenomyosis based on the theory of evil energy causes obstructed collateral vessel and pathogenic stagnation
Collateral disease is the common trend and destination of many complicated diseases.Adenomyosis is a common gynecological miscellaneous disease,its clinical manifestations are progressive aggravation of dysmenorrhea,prolonged menstruation,infertility and other symptoms.The main physical signs of patients are uterine enlargement,localized or diffuse uterine nodules and masses.The uterine junction of the patient is thickened and abnormal in shape.The disease is lingering and difficult to cure.In clinical practice,it is found that traditional Chinese medicine has shown unique advantages in the treatment of this disease.The normal physiological function of uterus is inseparable from the support of Qi(气),blood and body fluid,and collateral vessel plays an important role in the process.Clinical findings show that the pathological characteristics of adenomyosis and collateral diseases are correlated,and the course and clinical manifestations of the two are consistent.Based on the theory of collaterals disease,the author believes that due to the lack of congenital constitution or insufficient vital energy in the body,or mixed with other pathogenic factors,collateral vessel was blocked by phlegm,blood stasis and other pathological products,and then pathogenic stagnation appeared,resulting in adenomyosis.Based on the pathogenesis,it is proposed the treatment method of strengthening vital energy to dispel pathogenic factors,remove blood stasis,and dredge collateral vessels.On the one hand,it pays attention to tonifying Qi and blood,and regulating spleen and kidney,so as to aid vital energy and avoid excessive attack.On the other hand,the methods of clearing heat and expelling phlegm,and activating blood stasis to remove static blood are used to dredge collateral vessels.The combination of tonifying drugs,clearing heat drugs,activating blood drugs and eliminating phlegm drugs is applied clinically,so as to provide a new therapeutic idea for the treatment of adenomyosis.In addition,attention should be paid to self-recuperation of patients,in order to achieve the purpose of preventing disease before it occurs.
