Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Adenomyosis?
Adenomyosis is a condition of the uterus (womb) that can occur in women. It occurs when cells of the uterine lining (endometrium) migrate or grow into the muscle layer (myometrium). This can cause the uterus to enlarge, and make menstruation more painful and heavier than normal. While it is not dangerous on its own, it can be very uncomfortable for patients and can affect their enjoyment of life. The heavy bleeding can also make patients anemic and affect their medical health. The exact cause is not known but uterine adenomyosis is more common in women who are in their 30's and 40's and have had children.
Typical Symptoms of Adenomyosis
- Stomach pain or tummy ache in a specific place
- Periods last more than 8 days
- Pain in the pelvis- the lowest part of the abdomen, between the belly button and groin
- Abnormal period length or flow
- Lower abdominal pain
- Excessively heavy periods
- Bleeding in between menstrual cycles / periods or after menopause
- Low back pain
Diagnostic Questions for Adenomyosis
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Is your stomach pain localized to one specific area?
- Does your period last longer than 8 days?
- Do you have pelvic pain?
- Have your periods become longer or heavier than usual?
- Do you have lower abdominal pain?
Treatment of Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis only requires treatment if the symptoms are bothersome to the patient, or causing severe anemia. It typically improves and goes away on its own after menopause. If symptoms are bothersome, pain medication, hormonal pills or progesterone containing intrauterine devices can be helpful. For women that do not desire more children, a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus) can also be considered and would be curative.
