Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis is a condition that many women have never heard of, yet it affects thousands and can cause significant pain, heavy bleeding, and fatigue. At Alara Women’s Health, we believe in raising awareness, providing support, and offering holistic care so women don’t have to struggle alone with the symptoms of adenomyosis.
What is Adenomyosis?
Adenomyosis occurs when tissue that normally lines the uterus (endometrial tissue) grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. Each month, this tissue behaves as it normally would during a menstrual cycle — thickening, breaking down, and bleeding — but because it is trapped within the muscle wall, it can cause inflammation, pain, and an enlarged uterus.
Common symptoms include:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Severe period pain or cramping
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Bloating or a feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen
- Fatigue
- Pain with intimacy
While symptoms can vary from mild to severe, the impact on daily life can be significant.
