April is Adenomyosis awareness month. Some of you may know adenomysis as “endo’s ugly twin sister”, as the two conditions are often co-existing. In fact, Jenneh, Jillian, and Natalie were all diagnosed with both endo and adeno. Symptoms of #endometriosis can overlap. These include: uterine cramping, radiating pain to the upper back, hips, and front of legs, pain during intercourse, heavy periods, painful urination, and painful bowel movements. Adenomyosis can either be diffuse (spread throughout the uterus), or be found as nodules. The only cure for #adenomyosis is complete removal of the uterus, or hysterectomy. MRI imaging may hint at a diagnosis of adenomysis, but it is not 100% accurate in detecting changes when the disease is diffuse. A highly trained specialist may be able to suspect Adenomyosis from your pelvic exam, and from the feel of your uterus during a laparoscopy. If you’ve had expert excision for endometriosis, and continue to have these symptoms, Adenomyosis could be the cause! Visit the link in our bio to learn more 💛.
