Adenomyosis is a painful condition that occurs when the endometrium, the inner uterus lining grows thicker and breaks through the myometrium the outer muscle wall of the uterus. This extra tissue makes the uterus enlarge double or triple in size and results in abnormal uterine bleeding and heavy & painful periods during every menstrual cycle.
One can experience the condition across the entire uterus or in a single spot. The cause of adenomyosis is not clear, but the condition often disappears after menopause. Many treatment options are available at Matrusri Hospital for women who are experiencing severe discomfort due to adenomyosis.
Though adenomyosis is not considered a life-threatening condition, excessive bleeding and frequent pain can decrease the quality of life of a woman.
