At Dr Mannan IVF Centre in Delhi, with over 10 years of experience, I often see patients who have spent years struggling with painful periods and heavy bleeding, believing it to be “normal.” Often, they have been misdiagnosed or simply told to endure the pain.
When we finally identify the cause as Adenomyosis, there is often a mix of relief at having an answer and worry about what it means for their health and fertility.
I want to reassure you that Adenomyosis is a treatable condition. While it can be painful and challenging, modern medicine offers us many tools to manage the symptoms and protect your ability to have children.
My goal is to listen to your story, confirm your diagnosis with precision, and create a care plan that restores your quality of life.
Key Takeaways
- It’s Not Just “Bad Periods”: Adenomyosis is a specific medical condition where the uterine lining grows into the muscle wall, causing pain and heavy bleeding.
- Accurate Diagnosis: We use advanced ultrasound and MRI to differentiate Adenomyosis from fibroids or endometriosis.
- Fertility Can Be Protected: While it poses challenges, many women with Adenomyosis conceive successfully with the right treatment.
- Tailored Solutions: From medication to uterus-sparing surgeries, we offer a range of treatments suited to your stage of life.
What is Adenomyosis?
The uterus is made of two main layers: the inner lining (endometrium) which sheds during your period, and the outer muscular wall (myometrium).
Adenomyosis occurs when the cells of the inner lining break through and start growing inside the muscular wall.
Think of it as the inner lining “invading” the muscle. During your menstrual cycle, this displaced tissue acts just like the normal lining—thickening, breaking down, and bleeding.
However, because it is trapped inside the muscle, it has nowhere to go. This causes the uterus to become enlarged, tender, and painful, often described as “boggy” or bulky.
Why Does It Happen?
The exact cause of Adenomyosis is not fully understood, but several factors seem to increase the risk:
- Uterine Trauma: Procedures such as a C-section, D&C (Dilation and Curettage), or fibroid removal, may allow the lining to invade the muscle wall.
- Hormones: The condition depends on oestrogen. It often affects women in their 30s and 40s who have had children, as they have had longer exposure to oestrogen.
- Childbirth: The inflammation of the uterine lining after childbirth might break the boundary between the lining and the muscle.
- Age: It is most commonly diagnosed in women aged 40-50, though we are increasingly identifying it in younger women struggling with infertility.
Recognising the Symptoms
Adenomyosis can range from silent (no symptoms) to severe. In Delhi, patients typically come to me with a combination of these issues:
- Heavy or Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding: Soaking through protection quickly or bleeding for more than a week.
- Severe Menstrual Cramps (Dysmenorrhea): Pain that is sharp, knife-like, and often worsens with age.
- Pelvic Pain: Chronic pain or a feeling of heaviness/pressure in the lower abdomen.
- Pain During Intercourse (Dyspareunia): Deep pain during sex.
- Enlarged Uterus: Your lower abdomen might feel swollen or tender, similar to being a few months pregnant.
- Fertility Issues: Difficulty implanting an embryo due to the inflammation in the uterine wall.
How We Diagnose Adenomyosis?
Diagnosing Adenomyosis used to be difficult without surgery, but today, advanced imaging allows us to identify it non-invasively.
- Transvaginal Ultrasound: This is our primary diagnostic tool. We look for specific signs such as an enlarged uterus, one wall appearing thicker than the other, or small cysts within the muscle wall.
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): If the ultrasound is unclear, an MRI provides high-resolution images of the uterine layers to distinguish it from fibroids.
- Hysteroscopy: While looking inside the uterus, we can see signs such as an irregular or pitted surface on the uterine wall.

Personalised Treatment Options
Treatment depends entirely on your symptoms and your desire for future pregnancy.
For Pain and Bleeding Management (Non-Fertility Focus)
- Anti-Inflammatory Medications: To control pain and reduce blood flow.
- Hormonal Therapies: Birth control pills, patches, or the Mirena IUD can thin the lining and significantly reduce bleeding and pain.
- Tranexamic Acid: Non-hormonal medication taken only during periods to reduce heavy bleeding.
For Women Trying to Conceive (Fertility Focus)
- GnRH Agonists: These injections temporarily put the body into a menopause-like state to shrink the adenomyosis and calm inflammation before IVF.
- Modified IVF Protocols: We use specific protocols (like the “Ultra-Long Protocol”) to suppress the adenomyosis before stimulating the ovaries, which drastically improves implantation rates.
Surgical Options
- Adenomyomectomy: A complex, uterus-sparing surgery where we remove the diseased tissue while preserving the uterus.
- Hysterectomy: This is the only definitive cure but is reserved for women who have completed their families.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Is Adenomyosis the same as Endometriosis?
No, though they are cousins. In Endometriosis, the lining grows outside the uterus (on ovaries, tubes, etc.). In Adenomyosis, the lining grows inside the muscular wall of the uterus. Many women have both.
2. Can I get pregnant with Adenomyosis?
Yes, many women do. However, it can make implantation harder and slightly increase the risk of miscarriage. With proper treatment (like suppressing the condition before IVF), success rates are good.
3. Will Adenomyosis go away on its own?
Adenomyosis relies on oestrogen, so symptoms typically disappear after menopause when oestrogen levels drop. Until then, treatment is usually needed to manage symptoms.
4. Does a hysterectomy cure Adenomyosis?
Yes, removing the uterus is the only 100% cure for Adenomyosis. However, this is a major decision and only recommended if you have completed your family and other treatments have failed.
5. Why does my belly look swollen?
Adenomyosis causes the uterus to enlarge, sometimes doubling or tripling in size. This can cause “adenomyosis belly,” where your lower abdomen looks distended or bloated, similar to early pregnancy.
