Adenomyosis is a medical condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. This can cause the uterus to become enlarged, tender, and painful, especially during menstruation. Symptoms of adenomyosis may include heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, intense menstrual cramps, and pelvic pain. While the exact cause of adenomyosis is not fully understood, it may be related to hormonal changes or inflammation. Treatment options for adenomyosis include pain management with over-the-counter or prescription medications, hormonal therapies such as birth control pills or hormone-releasing intrauterine devices (IUDs), and in severe cases, surgery to remove the affected tissue or the entire uterus.
