You suspect you may have endometriosis or adenomyosis
What symptoms suggest a focal adenomyoma?
A focal adenomyoma (a localized form of adenomyosis) often causes symptoms that feel more “one-sided” or concentrated in a specific area. Many patients describe localized, severe period cramps, heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, and deep pain with sex that tends to flare in the days leading up to and during their period.
Sometimes there’s a particularly tender spot on the uterus during an exam, and symptoms may come in predictable monthly waves rather than being constant. Because these symptoms can overlap with fibroids and other uterine conditions, symptoms alone can’t confirm the diagnosis. Our team typically relies on targeted imaging and a full symptom history to clarify what’s driving your bleeding and pain and to discuss next steps.
