@nourishingapothecary: Why are so many women diagnosed with adenomyosis after having children? There’s an interesting biological theory behind this. One proposed mechanism of adenomyosis involves disruption at the junction between the endometrium and the muscular wall of the uterus. Pregnancy naturally involves significant changes at this interface, including trophoblast invasion into the inner myometrium. We also know that having had pregnancies is associated with an increased likelihood of adenomyosis. Importantly, that does not mean pregnancy automatically causes adenomyosis. Adenomyosis can also occur in women who have never been pregnant. But what I don’t want women to ignore is a significant change in their periods after having children. If your periods have become dramatically heavier, more painful or more prolonged, don’t automatically accept that as “my periods just changed after pregnancy.” We want to know why. Adenomyosis is one condition that should be considered and investigated, and there are both medical and complementary approaches that can form part of management.

Hello dear, just a correction, the placenta does not normally attach or invade the myometrium in normal pregnancy. That would cause placenta accreta and increta which would cause antepartum hemorrhage🫶🏽
