You suspect you may have endometriosis or adenomyosis

What are the key symptoms of adenomyosis?

Adenomyosis more commonly causes heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding along with significant cramping that can feel deep, sore, or “achy.” Many patients describe pelvic pressure, uterine tenderness, and a sense of heaviness, sometimes with bloating or low back discomfort that tracks with the cycle.


Symptoms can overlap with endometriosis, and the two conditions can occur together, which is why we pay close attention to both bleeding patterns and pain characteristics. When adenomyosis is suspected, we often pair a detailed history with targeted imaging (such as expert pelvic ultrasound or MRI) to clarify the picture. Reach out to schedule a consultation so our team can help you sort out what best fits and which treatment options make sense for you.
