Hysterectomy – Purpose, Procedure, Risk & Recovery

Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis is a health issue that occurs when the lining of your uterus develops into the muscles of this part. This leads to the thickening of the uterine wall, which causes heavy bleeding and pain. In most cases, the symptoms tend to disappear after menopause. Some pain medications and hormone therapies are often tried first. However, when the symptoms become severe, a hysterectomy might be needed to prevent the condition from spreading to other parts of the body and cause further complications. [6]
