can I was what is adenomyosis?

So endometriosis is where the endometrial lining cells grow outside of the uterus. Because they are still affect by hormones they then do the same growing and bleeding every month like the cells that line the uterus, only the body often attacks the bleeds outside the uterus and causes scar tissue. Adenomyosis is where these cells have grown into the muscle wall of the uterus again doing the same growing and bleeding but because it is in the muscle no scar tissue is formed but instead it continues to perforate the muscle wall. Adenomyosis is often mistakenly diagnosed for fibroids or even worse uterine cancer. It can be shrunk with stopping hormones but that is only temporary. A hysterectomy is the only cure for Adenomyosis

Fkn hell its hard being a woman ..

thanks for explaining, i'd realised I'd asked but could have actually just bloody googled haha I must have been in 'convo mode', asking as though I'm speaking to you haha

No, it is not. You cruel person.

oh thanks for sharing, it's so confusing because I often had light bleeding between when on the pill which I'm sure the doctor referred to as spotting / break through bleeding (I think, cant remember what term she used) etc. but now this off the pill still so yeah. Cheers perhaps it will settle

Hi OP, early onset menopause is a real thing, but I'm not sure if this is a symptom of it. Best idea is to see your doctor when you can.

I had a papsmear about a year ago while still on the pill and all was ok, thanks for your response
