Whether you’re exploring treatment options or undergoing fertility care, these resources will empower you to make informed decisions.

What Is Adenomyosis?

Adenomyosis occurs when the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows into the muscular wall of the uterus (myometrium). It can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, severe cramping, and fertility challenges.

If you’ve been diagnosed, you’re not alone—and with the right fertility treatment plan, many patients with adenomyosis go on to have healthy pregnancies.

Can Adenomyosis Affect My Baby?

This is one of the most common questions we receive. While adenomyosis can increase risks during pregnancy, many patients have successful outcomes with proper monitoring.

Some patients consider a hysterectomy, but this removes the uterus and eliminates the ability to carry a pregnancy. It’s critical to understand your options.
