It can also occur for unknown reasons. Women with Adenomyosis often have a characteristic uterine ultrasound picture. (Sometimes not) US may help make diagnosis. Since the condition is characterized by the lining glands of the uterus being caught in the muscle of the uterus one cannot see anything. The characteristic feel of a uterus which is larger than normal AND softer than normal Women with Adenomyosis commonly feel aching in the MID LOW back just above the tail bone (At the time of menses). They often complain "I feel like everything is falling out!' The pathology is that these glands bleed just as the were bleeding (menses) when they were INSIDE the uterine cavity. The blood has no place to go therefore the pressure builds up and the woman hurts. Adenomyosis is not life threatening -- but -- it can be very disabling! Right? Hysterectomy is the treatment of choice. ============================ Note: Opinions here are for educational purposes only.
