Menorrhagia (70%) - The excessive bleeding for more than 7 days with clots. \n2. Dysmenorrhea (30%) - Progressively increased colicky pain during periods. \n3. Dyspareunia. \n4. Frequency of urination. \n5. Infertility- Women with adenomyosis have a higher incidence of infertility and \nmiscarriage. \n \nPhysical examination [1] \n1. Abdominal examination reveals a hypogastric mass arising out of the pelvis and \noccupying the midline. The size usually does not exceed 14 weeks pregnant uterus. \n2. Pelvic examination reveals uniform enlargement of the uterus. The findings, however, \nmay be altered due to associated fibroid or pelvic endometriosis. \n \nInvestigations [1] \n1. USG (Lower Abdomen) and Color Doppler (TVS): Shows the location and size of \nthe adenomyosis. \n2. MRI: It is more specific to the diagnosis. Low signal intensity JZ less than or equal to 8 \nmm excludes the disease. Whereas JZ thickness of more than or equal to 12 mm is \nsuggestive of adenomyosis. \n \nHomoeopathic therapeutics [2] \nThere are many medicines in homoeopathy which we can prescribe in case of adenomyosis. \nIt is the symptoms found in the patient which decide that what medicine she should be \nprescribed. The medicines given below are the top medicines covering maximum number \nrubrics on reportorization. The symptoms of the medicine are given in the following pattern: \nA) Menorrhagia \nB) Dysmennorhea \nC) Dyspareunia \nD) Frequent urination \nE) Infertility \nF) Other characteristic symptoms \n\n\nInternational Journal of Homoeopathic Sciences http://www.homoeopathicjournal.com \n~ 16 ~ \n1.
