Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Adenomyosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue (the inner lining of the uterus) within the myometrium(the muscular layer of uterus)..
Symptoms are:
Intense pain all the time or
Acute & increasing pain at menstruation and ovulation
Abdominal cramps
Pressure on bladder.
It is treated with anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen .
Surgical line of management includes:endometrial ablation, laparoscopic myometrial electrocoagulation and adenomyoma excision.
Hysterectomy can be done in some cases where fertility is not desired, and is the only definitive treatment for the disease.
Hope i have answered your query.
