@nourishingapothecary: Adenomyosis isn’t just “endometriosis inside the uterus”. It gets described that way all the time, but they are two different conditions. You can have one, the other, or both. With endometriosis, tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. With adenomyosis, endometrial glands and tissue are found within the muscular wall of the uterus, called the myometrium. And that difference matters. Adenomyosis can be associated with inflammation and thickening of that muscle. The uterus can become enlarged, bulky and tender, which helps explain that heavy, dragging feeling and pelvic pressure. Then there are the periods. Heavy bleeding, flooding, clots and pain that seems to be getting worse. Some women also experience pain with sex. These symptoms deserve attention, especially when they’re affecting how you live your life each month. Adenomyosis can also be relevant when we’re looking at fertility. But having it does not automatically mean you can’t conceive or carry a healthy pregnancy. Mel shares her own experience here. She has adenomyosis and has had two healthy babies. Everyone’s situation is different, but a diagnosis doesn’t tell us your whole fertility story. This is why understanding which condition you have, and whether both are present, is so important. If you’d like support, Mel is our Senior Fertility Naturopath with a focus on endometriosis and adenomyosis. She works alongside your medical care to build a plan around you.
