The tissue that lines the uterus is known as endometrium. The endometrium changes with each menstrual cycle: it thickens to prepare the uterus to support the implantation of a fertilized egg and the development of a fetus. If there is no fertilized egg, the tissue breaks down and is followed by menstrual bleeding. This is part of a normal menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Both adenomyosis and endometriosis are conditions related to the uterine lining and can sound very similar. Both involve a defect in how the uterus sheds its lining and both can cause very painful periods<\/a>. Because they are so similar, it\u2019s common for patients to go undiagnosed or even misdiagnosed for years (read about Gabrielle Union\u2019s experience<\/a> with adenomyosis and misdiagnosis). There\u2019s also the unfortunate misconception that periods are painful and you should \u201cjust deal with them\u201d; that is why a lot of patients fail to discuss their symptoms with their doctor. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n The noted difference with adenomyosis vs. endometriosis is where and how the lining is shed. With Adenomyosis it grows and sheds in the actual muscle of the uterus instead of the internal wall, whereas with endometriosis the lining grows and sheds on the outside of the uterus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Adenomyosis<\/a> is a condition when the uterus becomes enlarged because the lining that normally grows on the inside of the uterus starts growing in the muscular tissue. This can cause very painful periods as the blood seeps through the uterine walls and through the vaginal canal. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Endometriosis<\/a> is when the tissue that normally lines your uterus grows on the outside of your uterus affecting the surrounding pelvic structures, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the pelvis. This can also cause very painful periods especially since the shedded lining cannot exit through the vaginal canal and remains trapped.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Overlapping symptoms of adenomyosis vs. endometriosis like painful periods or pain during sex<\/a>, are one of the main reasons why these two are so commonly misdiagnosed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n While you might not show any signs of Adenomyosis there are a few symptoms you and NYC Fibroid specialists at Viva Eve specialists can still look out for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Usually it is clear when you have endometriosis because of the pain it causes during menstruation. There are other telling signs of endometriosis too, including a specific ovarian cyst called \u200b\u200bendometrioma, which normally develops in the late stages of endometriosis. Some of the symptoms of endometriosis are very similar to the ones listed above.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n With adenomyosis the womb actually swells and the lining gets thicker because of the way the uterine lining is shed. This is not the case in endometriosis, with endometriosis the lining actually spreads outward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n The differences in what causes adenomyosis vs. endometriosis are uncertain, although it seems adenomyosis is likely linked to hormones, while endometriosis has several potential causes that are often linked to genetics or lifestyle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n While the causes of adenomyosis<\/a> are unknown it\u2019s possible that you are more likely to develop adenomyosis if any of the following applies:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n While the causes of endometriosis aren\u2019t certain, there are people who are more likely to develop endometriosis. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n When it comes to Adenomyosis vs. Endometriosis, some of the treatment options overlap. To help determine which procedure is best for you, our NYC Ob\/Gyn specialists might recommend an endometrial biopsy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Viva Eve\u2019s expert NYC Ob\/Gyns will listen to all your concerns and make sure to run every possible diagnostic test to provide you with a correct diagnosis.
