This study found no specific symptoms that could distinguish adenomyosis from other benign uterine conditions in patients undergoing hysterectomy.
One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works
Abstract
A total of 212 patients coming for removal of the uterus due to a benign condition were interviewed by the first author before operation. Of these patients 28 had adenomyosis, while 157 had neither adenomyosis nor external endometriosis; these two groups were compared with respect to duration of menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, urinary symptoms and sacral and lower abdominal pain. There were no inter-group differences in the frequencies of these symptoms. It is concluded that although patients with adenomyosis have many symptoms, none specific to adenomyosis can be found.
