Which specialist treats adenomyosis?

Adenomyosis occurs when tissue similar to the womb lining grows into the muscular wall of the womb. A gynaecologist can review your bleeding pattern, period pain, pelvic symptoms, examination findings, and scan results. The condition may cause heavy periods, painful periods, or ongoing pelvic discomfort, although symptoms vary. A specialist may also discuss whether preserving fertility or avoiding surgery is a priority.

Start with an appointment with a gynaecologist and take a record of bleeding, pain, medicines, and pregnancy plans. Treatment may include medicines for heavy bleeding or pain, a Hormonal Coil, or procedures such as Uterine Artery Embolisation. Endometrial Ablation and Hysterectomy have different effects on fertility, so ask how each option fits your goals. If symptoms are difficult to control, the gynaecologist may involve a specialist in pelvic pain or fertility.

Arrange a prompt review if heavy bleeding is affecting daily activities, period pain is worsening, or pelvic pain persists between periods. Seek urgent medical help for bleeding that makes you faint or severely weak, sudden severe pelvic pain, or symptoms of pregnancy with significant pain or bleeding.

Ask what findings support adenomyosis, whether another condition could explain the symptoms, and which treatment protects your fertility plans. You can also ask when improvement should be expected, what side effects to watch for, and when surgery would be considered.
