Does diffuse adenomyosis affect fertility and miscarriage risk?

Topic:Fertility
Affected areas:pelvicabdominalsystemic

Diffuse adenomyosis can affect fertility by changing how the uterine muscle contracts and by altering the uterine environment where an embryo needs to implant and develop. For some patients, this can contribute to difficulty conceiving and may be associated with a higher risk of early miscarriage.


The good news is that outcomes can sometimes be improved with an individualized plan. Depending on your goals and imaging findings, our team may consider medical pretreatment to calm inflammation and reduce symptoms before attempting conception, or coordinate timing with fertility treatment such as IVF. If you’re trying to conceive or have had recurrent losses, reach out to schedule a consultation so we can review your history and tailor the next steps.
