Can adenomyosis be diagnosed in young women?

Yes. Adenomyosis can be suspected in adolescents and young adults, including people who haven’t been pregnant, especially when symptoms and imaging findings fit the pattern.

That said, imaging typically supports a “likely” or “suspected” diagnosis rather than a definitive one, and some cases can be missed or look similar to other causes of pelvic pain and heavy bleeding. Our team can review your history and prior imaging, and help determine whether your symptoms are more consistent with adenomyosis, endometriosis, fibroids, or another condition—then discuss next steps for diagnosis and treatment.
