April is Adenomyosis Awareness Month!…but what even is adenomyosis?

Adenomyosis is when the cells in the lining of the uterus, the endometrium, grow into the muscle wall of the uterus, the myometrium. These endometrial cells damage the uterine wall and typically end up enlarging the uterus. It’s actually a fairly common condition and can affect around 1 in 10 women.
