Overview
Because adenomyosis doesn't often create symptoms, many women are unaware they have it. 20% to 65% of females may be affected by the illness.
Endometrial tissue, which ordinarily lines the uterus, develops into the muscular uterine wall, causing adenomyosis. Each menstrual cycle, the dislocated tissue behaves normally, swelling, degrading, and bleeding. There may be an enlarged uterus and painful, lengthy periods.
Adenomyosis normally goes away after menopause, but doctors are unsure of what causes it. Hormonal therapies can aid women who have significant pain from adenomyosis. Adenomyosis is treated by having the uterus removed (hysterectomy).
Your symptoms, how severe they are, and whether or not you have finished having children will all influence how you are treated for adenomyosis.
