Description

A condition in which endometrial tissue exists within and grows into the uterine wall. Adenomyosis most often occurs late in childbearing years and typically disappears after menopause. Sometimes, adenomyosis may cause heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, severe cramping, pain during intercourse or blood clots that pass during a period. Certain medications can help relieve pain or lessen heavy bleeding. Removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) is the only permanent cure.endometriosis and adenomyosis
