April is Adenomyosis Awareness month. Adenomyosis is a condition that affects the uterus and it is often misdiagnosed as endometriosis because the symptoms are so similar. Adenomyosis occurs when the cells (endometrial tissues) that normally line the uterus begin to grow in the muscle layer within the wall of the uterus. The most common symptoms include: - Heavy menstrual bleeding - Severe cramping - Chronic pelvic pain - Pelvic pressure - An enlarged uterus - Abdominal tenderness As adenomyosis is not well-known, people can go years being misdiagnosed. Due to recent advances in technology- Adenomyosis can be diagnosed by 3D pelvic scan too if performed by an experienced doctor.
