What is adenomyosis?

A condition caused by the surface layer of the uterus (endometrium) growing into the muscle layer (myometrium). It causes the womb (uterus) to enlarge. The exact cause is not known but uterine adenomyosis is more common in women who have had children.

Symptoms of adenomyosis

  • Excessively heavy periods

  • Abnormal period length or flow

  • Abdominal pain

  • Low back pain

  • Bleeding in between menstrual cycles / periods or after menopause

Questions your doctor may ask to check for adenomyosis

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose adenomyosis

  • Do you have heavy menstrual bleeding which requires you to change a pad more than every hour? Or do you have clots?

  • Are your periods abnormal e.g. in duration or amount of bleeding?

  • Do you have abdominal pain (stomach ache)?

  • Do you have pain in the lumbar back?

  • Have you had vaginal bleeding, brown or pink colored vaginal discharge outside of your periods? Or, after the menopause?

Treatment for adenomyosis

Symptoms go away after menopause, so they can be left alone if mild. If symptoms are bothersome, painkillers, hormone pills or intrauterine device can be helpful. Another option is surgery to remove the uterus - this is for women who do not intend to have more children.
