Adenomyosis is often referred to as the "evil twin" or "cousin" of endometriosis--see this article in Women's Health Magazine--and it is just as misunderstood and difficult to diagnose. During Adenomyosis Awareness Month, it's important to continue spreading awareness of this painful disease, so more women can get diagnosed sooner and seek relief from their symptoms.
What is adenomyosis? It's a condition in which the endometrial cells, which usually line the uterus, begin to grow within the uterine muscle wall itself, causing painful inflammation with each monthly cycle. The only known cure is hysterectomy. But for women wishing to preserve fertility, other options such as medical management of pain should be discussed with their provider.
