Female Reproductive Pathology: Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis refers to the growth of the basal layer of the endometrium down into the myometrium.

It results in an enlarged, globular uterus, often with a thickened uterine wall.

Marked adenomyosis may produce menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, and pelvic pain before the onset of menstruation.
