Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis is a condition in which the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows into the muscular wall of the uterus (myometrium). This abnormal growth can cause the uterus to become enlarged and may lead to painful periods, heavy bleeding, and fertility challenges.
At Matritwa IVF, we provide advanced diagnostic tools and personalized fertility treatments for women with adenomyosis, helping them achieve symptom relief and successful pregnancies.
Causes of Adenomyosis
The exact cause of adenomyosis is not fully understood, but several factors may contribute:
Previous uterine surgery (such as C-section or fibroid removal)
Childbirth – particularly multiple pregnancies
Hormonal imbalance, especially excess estrogen
Inflammation or uterine trauma
Age – most common in women in their 30s and 40s
Symptoms of Adenomyosis
Symptoms of adenomyosis may vary in severity:
Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
Severe menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea)
Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
Enlarged or tender uterus
Pain during intercourse
Infertility or difficulty conceiving
Some women may have adenomyosis without noticeable symptoms, and it is sometimes discovered during fertility evaluation.
How Adenomyosis Affects Fertility
Adenomyosis can impact fertility by:
Affecting the quality of the uterine lining, making implantation difficult
Causing chronic inflammation in the uterus
Distorting uterine structure in severe cases
Increasing the risk of miscarriage
Early diagnosis and treatment can improve fertility outcomes for women with adenomyosis.
Diagnosis of Adenomyosis
Accurate diagnosis is essential for planning treatment. Common diagnostic methods include:
Ultrasound (2D or 3D) – Detects uterine enlargement and characteristic changes
MRI – Detailed imaging for severe or complex cases
Hysteroscopy – Evaluates the uterine cavity when needed
Clinical evaluation based on symptoms and menstrual history
