What is Adenomyosis?

Adenomyosis is a gynaecological condition in which the endometrial tissue, which normally lines the inside of the uterus, grows into the muscular wall of the uterus (myometrium). This infiltration can lead to uterine enlargement, intense menstrual cramps, and excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding. The condition most commonly affects women between the ages of 30 and 50, especially those who have had children.

• Pelvic pain or pressure

• Painful intercourse

Causes and Risk Factors

• Inflammation of the uterine lining

• Genetic predisposition
