In this gynaecology series, we explore Adenomyosis: its pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, investigations, and management.
🧬 Understand the pathophysiology – endometrial tissue grows into the myometrium, causing uterine enlargement and inflammation.
⚠️ Learn key risk factors – multiparity, prior uterine surgery (e.g., C-section), and middle-aged women (typically 35–50 years).
💥 Recognize common symptoms – heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), painful periods (dysmenorrhea), chronic pelvic pain, and dyspareunia.
🖥️ Discover diagnostic tools – pelvic ultrasound, MRI, and clinical examination revealing a tender, bulky uterus.
💊 Review management options – NSAIDs, hormonal therapy (e.g., progestins, Mirena IUS), GnRH analogues, and hysterectomy in severe cases.
👩⚕️ Differentiate from similar conditions – especially endometriosis and fibroids, to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Perfect for medical students, junior doctors, and healthcare professionals aiming to better understand adenomyosis and its impact on women’s health. 🎙️✨
