Understanding Adenomyosis and Fertility Challenges
Adenomyosis is a medical condition where the tissue lining the innermost layer of the woman’s womb/uterus grows into its muscular wall of the uterus, the myometrium. Adenomyosis symptoms include severe abdominal pain, bloating after consuming food, along with heavy periods. It will also decrease chances of fertility by changing the shape and function of the uterus and may also cause abortions.
Recognising Adenomyosis Symptoms
Recognising adenomyosis involves noting even the smallest, often overlooked symptoms. Key signs include:
Heavy bleeding during monthly cycle
Chronic pelvic pressure/ persistent lower back pain
Painful menstruation/ Menstrual cramps intensifying
Abdominal bloating
Painful intimacy
Severe fatigue after periods
Irregular blood spotting
Adenomyosis Diagnosis
Expert doctors diagnose adenomyosis using:
Spotting symptoms of adenomyosis examining the patient especially heavy bleeding and pain
Pelvic exam to check for an enlarged, tender uterus
Ultrasound to identify abnormal uterine tissue and map the adenomyosis
Sometimes a MRI may also be required
Adenomyosis Treatment
Adenomyosis treatment depends on the severity and fertility goals of the couple. Options include:
Under medical supervision anti-inflammatory drugs for pain
Hormonal therapies (e.g., oral contraceptives, progestins, LNG-IUD) to reduce bleeding and reduce the size of the adenomyoma
GnRH agonists for symptom control and reduce the size of adenomyoma
In patients requiring fertility preservation- a fertility enhancing laparoscopic surgery is performed to excised the adenomyosis
Hysterectomy remains the definitive cure for severe, refractory cases
