Condition in which the endometrium (lining of the uterus) grows into the uterine muscle tissue; also called adenomyometritis.
A condition characterized by abnormal menstrual pain, typically affecting women in their 40s. As a woman ages, endometrial tissue can become embedded in the muscular wall of the uterus. As a result, a woman may experience bleeding and painful menstruation. A doctor may prescribe hormonal medication to control pain and bleeding. If hormonal medications do not alleviate the woman’s symptoms, a hysterectomy may be recommended. Menopause usually brings relief.
Benign invasive growth of the endometrium into the muscular layer of the uterus.
The thickening of the uterus resulting from the extension of endometrial tissue, which normally lines the inner walls of the uterus, into the fibrous and muscular tissues of the uterus.
