Adenomyosis: Condition Workup


Listen Later

In this gynaecology series, we explore Adenomyosis: its pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, investigations, and management.

🧬 Understand the pathophysiology – endometrial tissue grows into the myometrium, causing uterine enlargement and inflammation.
⚠️ Learn key risk factors – multiparity, prior uterine surgery (e.g., C-section), and middle-aged women (typically 35–50 years).
πŸ’₯ Recognize common symptoms – heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), painful periods (dysmenorrhea), chronic pelvic pain, and dyspareunia.
πŸ–₯️ Discover diagnostic tools – pelvic ultrasound, MRI, and clinical examination revealing a tender, bulky uterus.
πŸ’Š Review management options – NSAIDs, hormonal therapy (e.g., progestins, Mirena IUS), GnRH analogues, and hysterectomy in severe cases.
πŸ‘©β€βš•οΈ Differentiate from similar conditions – especially endometriosis and fibroids, to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Perfect for medical students, junior doctors, and healthcare professionals aiming to better understand adenomyosis and its impact on women’s health. πŸŽ™οΈβœ¨
