Understanding Adenomyosis: A Hidden Cause of Painful Periods
Adenomyosis is a gynecological condition where the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows into the muscular wall of the uterus (myometrium). This can cause the uterus to become enlarged and tender, leading to significant menstrual discomfort. Often overlooked or misdiagnosed, adenomyosis can silently affect a woman’s life with painful periods and heavy bleeding. It’s most commonly found in women aged 35 to 50, but younger women can also suffer from it—especially if they’ve had childbirth or uterine surgery.
Common Symptoms of Adenomyosis include:
Severe cramping during periods and ovulation
Heavy, prolonged menstrual bleeding
Blood clots during periods
Pain during sexual intercourse
Spotting or bleeding between periods
These symptoms can interfere with daily activities, cause fatigue, and even lead to emotional distress. That’s why timely diagnosis and expert treatment are crucial.
Treatment Options: Relief That Fits Your Needs
Treatment for adenomyosis is personalized, depending on whether the patient wants to preserve fertility.
For women wishing to conceive: Laparoscopic Adenomyomectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that removes adenomyotic tissue while keeping the uterus intact. It offers relief from pain and improves the chances of pregnancy.
For women who have completed their family: Hysterectomy is the definitive solution. Removing the uterus provides complete and long-term relief from all symptoms.
Both procedures are done using advanced laparoscopic techniques, ensuring quicker recovery, minimal scars, and high success rates. Early diagnosis and expert care can restore comfort, well-being, and reproductive health. Don’t ignore the signs—seek help and take control of your health.
