Does Adenomyosis Cause Pain When Not Menstruating?

More Answer For You

Yes, adenomyosis can cause pain even when you are not menstruating. While the pain is typically most severe during periods, a significant number of women with the condition experience chronic pelvic pain and discomfort throughout their menstrual cycle.

In adenomyosis, the endometrial tissue abnormally grows into the uterine muscle wall. This causes a constant state of inflammation and cramping, which results in pain that extends beyond the menstrual cycle. This persistent discomfort can radiate to the lower back and legs, a key distinction from other conditions that primarily cause pain during menstruation.

As estimated 2.35 crore women in India suffer from adenomyosis.

The infographic features a question in large white text on a dark blue speech bubble that reads, "Does adenomyosis cause pain when not menstruating?" Below the speech bubble, on a pink background, the answer is provided in dark blue text: "Yes, adenomyosis causes chronic pelvic pain outside of menstruation (periods)." Accompanying the answer is a small circular illustration of a female doctor. Below that, in smaller white text, a detailed explanation states that in adenomyosis, endometrial tissue growth abnormally invades the uterine muscle wall, causing a constant state of inflammation and cramping, which extends even when a girl is not on her periods. The graphic ends with the campaign message "STOP The Period Pain." Which is a knowledge initiative campaign by Blue Cross Laboratories the makers of meftal spas.
