Symptoms and Warning Signs of Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis symptoms can range from mild to severe, and in some cases, women may have no symptoms at all.
Most Common Symptoms
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)
- Severe menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea)
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Pain during intercourse
- Enlarged or tender uterus
- Spotting between periods
- Fatigue or anaemia (from blood loss)
When to Seek Help
If your periods are affecting your daily life or you’re experiencing chronic pelvic pain, it’s worth seeing a GP or gynaecologist. In South Africa’s public sector, long waits can delay diagnosis, so be specific about your symptoms when seeking care.
