Adenomyosis is a common gynecological condition that occurs when the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) breaks through and grows into the muscular wall of the uterus (myometrium). This often results in an enlarged uterus, leading to painful and heavy menstrual cycles.
This condition is most frequently diagnosed in women between the ages of 35 and 50. While some women may remain asymptomatic, others may experience distressing symptoms that affect their quality of life.
