Adenomiose: aspectos epidemiológicos, fisiopatológicos e manejo terapêutico
Adenomyosis, characterized by ectopic endometrial glands and myometrial changes, occurs in 20-35% of premenopausal women and can cause symptoms like heavy bleeding, pain, and infertility.

This paper reviews adenomiosis as a benign uterine condition defined by ectopic endometrial glands and stroma with hypertrophic/hyperplastic myometrial changes, summarizing epidemiology, proposed etiologies (invagination, metaplasia, and rupture of the endometrial–myometrial interface), and pathophysiology. It links increased prostaglandin production from ectopic foci, exacerbation by estrogen, and factors such as increased vascularization and signaling molecules to symptoms including menorrhagia, abnormal uterine bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility, while noting that about one-third of patients are asymptomatic. Diagnostic approaches are presented as centered on imaging—ultrasound primarily, with MRI when needed—and treatment is described across medical options (NSAIDs, progestagens, IUDs, GnRH agonists) and surgical/minimally invasive options, with the caveat that the etiology is not fully established. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — epidemiologic, pathophysiological aspects, and therapeutic management of adenomyosis.
