Other Risk Factors
Some major risk factors for adenomyosis include middle age, childbirth, and uterine surgery. Most of the reported cases occur in women between 40 and 50 years old. This is probably because they tend to have longer exposure to estrogen than younger people. Nevertheless, the condition can still happen in young women. If you have a miscarriage or pregnancy, it would increase the risk of adenomyosis. The same holds true for a surgical procedure that can disrupt the lining of your uterus. Early diagnosis is important to increase the successful rate of the treatment and prevent further complications in the long run. [7]
