  • Enlarged uterus.
  • Pelvic pain.
  • Pain during sex (dyspareunia)
  • Heavy bleeding during periods (menorrhagia)
  • Severe cramps during periods (dysmenorrhea)
  • Feelings of abdominal bloating, fullness or heaviness.
  • fertility problems.
  • anaemia from heavy blee
  • a higher risk of pregnancy complications.

The major symptoms of adenomyosis go away after menopause. Childbirth: Many women with adenomyosis have given birth to more than one child.

The only way to fully stop adenomyosis is with a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus). “Since adenomyosis causes diffuse, often fingerlike projections of tissue to invade the uterine wall, we can't just go in and remove the abnormal tissue like we might be able to do with fibroids,” explains Chernofsky.
