| Help for those
with Adenomyosis |
| What is adenomyosis? It's similar
to endometriosis except that the endometrial tissue begins to develop within
the muscle wall of the uterus rather than outside of the uterus.
Only a biopsy of the uterus can provide a positive diagnosis of adenomyosis
and this can only be obtained through a hysterectomy. Symptoms are
very similar to those of endometriosis. |
