Endometriosis and Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis likely affects millions of women, but it’s not well understood. “It used to be thought that adenomyosis only occurred in older women, but it’s now being diagnosed earlier”.

Endometriosis and adenomyosis can cause some of the  symptoms, but what’s happening inside the body isn’t quite the same. And a woman could actually have both.In endometriosis, some of the tissue that lines the inside of the uterus travels outside of the uterus, attaches itself to other pelvic organs and continues to bleed monthly. In adenomyosis, that tissue instead embeds itself inside the wall or muscle of the uterus, causing the uterus to swell.

 Some women don’t have any symptoms, but many who are eventually diagnosed with adenomyosis are tipped off that something is wrong because of heavy periods and agonizing pain.

 Doctors used to only be able to make an adenomyosis diagnosis after a woman had her uterus removed to get rid of her symptoms, and a pathologist could see that there was indeed endometrial tissue inside the walls of her uterus.It’s hard to know how many women have this condition, and experts aren’t sure exactly what causes it. But some think that women who have been pregnant or had surgery on their uterus are at higher risk.
