Adenomyosis, an OBGYN condition, involves endometrial tissue growing into the uterine muscular wall (myometrium), leading to uterine enlargement, heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), and severe cramping (dysmenorrhea). This benign uterine disorder is often diagnosed through medical ultrasound, which can reveal characteristic diffuse or focal thickening of the myometrium with heterogeneous echotexture.
Early and accurate ultrasound diagnosis of adenomyosis is crucial for effective patient management, distinguishing it from conditions like uterine fibroids. Advanced ultrasound techniques, including transvaginal sonography, improve visualization, helping OBGYN specialists provide targeted treatments and enhance patient quality of life.
