Adenomyosis, a uterine condition, often presents with heavy bleeding and pain, particularly in middle-aged women. Diagnosis is challenging, with hysterectomy remaining the primary treatment and diagnostic method.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Adenomyosis affects uteri in both pregnant and non-pregnant states, often remaining asymptomatic.
  • Symptoms like menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea correlate with disease depth and patient age, common in parous women in their forties.
  • Associated pathologies include leiomyomas, endometriosis, and endometrial hyperplasia, suggesting a common cause like hyperestrogenemia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of adenomyosis.
  • To highlight the challenges in preoperative diagnosis and the effectiveness of hysterectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of adenomyosis focusing on clinical findings, associated conditions, and diagnostic modalities.
  • Analysis of treatment outcomes, emphasizing the role of hysterectomy.

Main Results:

  • Adenomyosis is prevalent in parous women in their mid-to-late forties, with symptoms linked to myometrial involvement.
  • Pregnancy is a frequent finding in adenomyosis cases, with rare complications.
  • Progesterone influences adenomyotic foci, especially during pregnancy.
  • Preoperative diagnosis is poor, with limited value from imaging and CA-125 levels.

Conclusions:

  • Clinical suspicion is crucial for diagnosing adenomyosis.
  • Hysterectomy serves as the primary method for both diagnosis and treatment of adenomyosis.
