- Adenomyosis - the hidden disease that should be in plain sight. If you have adenomyosis, I would love to hear about your experience in the comments. Any advice that you have for those just diagnosed are also welcome!
In this video, I talk about everything you need to know about adenomyosis. I answer the following questions:
What is adenomyosis?
What are the signs and symptoms of adenomyosis?
How is adenomyosis diagnosed?
What are the treatment options for adenomyosis?
How is adenomyosis similar to endometriosis?
How is adenomyosis different from endometriosis?
My reasons why I believe chronic pelvic pain and associated diseases are not talked about as often.

I just found out I have adenomyosis after having 4 kids. I didn’t find out until my birth control was taken out
thank you em!!! this is so important, when i got diagnosed with adenomyosis i was really just looking for & expecting a diagnosis for my endometriosis! when my report came back i was surprised to find adeno along with my endo diagnosis. i had done so much endo research that i never even really researched thoroughly or considered adenomyosis as something i could have as well! this video is very informative & correct which i very much appreciate! thank you 💗
I'm so happy that you found this video helpful! It's such a hidden disease that needs more spotlight! Thank you for sharing your experience with it and for advocating for your health and wellbeing - it's not always an easy journey, but you're doing amazing.
@@endoemmm Thank you so much! you are doing amazing as well.
Great video. I didn't know I had adenomyosis until my hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. All the symptoms were there but somehow this seems to get missed sometimes.
This is the best explanation I've seen. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video, you've explained this very well
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for making this video! I‘ve got diagnosed today (though the doctor didn’t mention endometriosis) and have just started the research engine. 😄
I have one question: Does it make sense to research endometriosis as well? (Like: is it the sister or a distant cousin of endo.)
Hey! Thanks so much for your comment. First off - I hope you're feeling well after receiving your diagnosis. I know that day can bring a mix of emotions, so I'm thinking of you! Typically with Adenomyosis and the presentation of Endometriosis alongside it - 40-50% of individuals experience / live with both.
Can one have extremely painful cramps with Adenomyosis but not the heavy periods?
You can. I did. The pain was unbearable during a period. Almost as bad as being in labor. Mine were not heavy, maybe prolonged but manageable. The pain however was awful. A tens machine was my only saviour.
You can. Got diagnosed today and my period is not heavy but very painful.
Can someone with adenomyosis get pregnant???
I have 2 wonderful children. I suffer with both endo and adenomyosis. However I wasn’t diagnosed until after my children. You can preserve your fertility by using birth control, so when you do try to get pregnant you have already slowed the progression of the disease. This happened to me without realising it.
