Re: What exactly is:ADENOMYOSIS ????????????From: Mindy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri Jun 29 12:13:43 2001
A common definition os Adenomyosis is "Endometriosis of the Uterus" Here is a definition from a sepcialist that treated my Endometriosis recently: http://www.scmc.org/endo.html "Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis is a structural change within the muscular wall of the uterus which occurs when tissue resembling the uterine lining invades the muscle. The uterus can look and feel normal, yet still have adenomyosis. Neither laparoscopy nor hysteroscopy can diagnose adenomyosis, and there is no medical treatment known to eradicate it. The only solution to date is removal of the uterus, although a very rare patient can have an isolated area found in the uterine musculature. Endometriosis of the uterus: In rare situations, patients actually have endometriosis of the uterus. This is very difficult to see at surgery unless there is some visible sign on the outside of the uterus such as discoloration or scarring. If no signs are there, meaning the endometriosis is within the muscles of the uterus, it can not be diagnosed and therefore treated, except by hysterectomy, as with most cases of adenomyosis. Sometimes, but less commonly, endometriosis is hidden within the ovary, with no visible signs on the outside of the ovary to detect its presence." Mindy :-)
