Adenomyosis

What is Adenomyosis?

Adenomyosis is the condition in which endometrial tissues that form the internal lining of the uterus, overgrow into its muscular layering. When these overgrown tissues bleed naturally during periods, they cause swelling and inflammation to the uterus tissues.

Adenomyosis is clinically considered as the benign invasion of endometrium into the myometrium. This is one of the most common infertility factors in women. Most patients with Adenomyosis, who come to our clinic fall between the ages of 35 and 45.

Adenomyosis is a progressive condition, meaning, the disorder becomes more complicated with time.This disorder fundamentally disturbs the health of their uterus from the beginning. Having the uterus in an unhealthy state makes it hard for many women to achieve pregnancy later in life.
