Adenomyosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall. The result is an enlarged, tender uterus and often significant menstrual symptoms.
Typical symptoms
Women with adenomyosis frequently experience heavy, prolonged periods, severe cramping, chronic pelvic pain, and a feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen. Some also notice pain during intercourse.
What causes it?
The cause is not fully known. It is more common in women who have had children and tends to be hormone-dependent, often improving after menopause.
Treatment options
Management ranges from pain relief and hormonal therapy to procedures. For women who want to avoid hysterectomy, uterus-preserving options such as HIFU can target the affected area to reduce pain and bleeding.
