Is Endometriosis Different With Adenomyosis?

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two diseases that occur commonly in women.Many women don’t have a clear knowledge with the difference between endometriosis and adenomyosis .You can distinguish them after scanning the following article.

 

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two gynecological conditions that both affect the endometrium, the lining of the uterus. Endometriosis is a condition in which the endometrium abnormally develops outside of the uterus, while adenomyosis is a condition in which the endometrium grows into the muscular walls of the uterus instead of lining the outside of the uterus.

 

Although neither of the conditions’ causes are known for certain, one of the main differences between endometriosis and adenomyosis are the possible causes. Retrograde menstruation, a condition in which menstrual blood moves back up into the fallopian tubes instead of exiting the body, is thought to be one of the primary factors in causing endometriosis. However,the causes of adenomyosis tend to not be as agreed upon, but typically are thought to be related to uterine damage from childbirth or surgery.

 

Endometriosis and adenomyosis may share some symptoms, but they also usually have different symptoms that makes them distinctive from one another. The symptoms of endometriosis often include severe pelvic cramps, especially during menstruation, pain during and after intercourse, heavy menstrual periods or bleeding between periods, and infertility. Adenomyosis may not cause any symptoms in some women with the condition, but if it does, one of the symptoms that differentiates it from endometriosis is a swollen or tender lower abdomen. Endometriosis may also lead to infertility and tends to occur in women who have never given birth, while adenomyosis more commonly develops after childbirth.
