Adenomyosis is a condition where endometrial tissue of the uterus grows into the muscle wall of the uterus. Women having a history of operation like cesarean section, an operation to remove fibroids, and women in the age group of 40 to 50 are at most risk for adenomyosis. Homeopathy for adenomyosis can help reduce the intensity and frequency of symptoms of the disease.
The reason behind adenomyosis is not clearly known yet but there are many theories to explain the cause of adenomyosis. One theory suggests that the endometrial tissue might be deposited in the muscle layer of the uterus during birth that tends to grow during adulthood. Next theory says inflammation of uterus following childbirth may result in adenomyosis. This is due to a break in the confined boundary of the cells that lines the uterus. As per another theory, adenomyosis arises from direct invasion of endometrial cells into the muscle layer of the uterus that may be due to incisions made during surgeries like cesarean section.
Symptoms of Adenomyosis
Some women having adenomyosis may not have any symptoms of the problem. In cases where symptoms do appear, they include heavy periods, prolonged menstrual bleeding, severe cramps/pain during periods (dysmenorrhea), bloating, painful intercourse, and spotting between periods.
Homeopathy for Adenomyosis
Homeopathy is highly useful for symptomatic management of adenomyosis. The symptoms including heavy/prolonged menstrual bleeding, pain during periods/intercourse, and spotting between periods can be managed effectively with homeopathy.

Hi. I have been married for almost 18 years and don’t have children. I’ve been told that I can’t have children due to diffuse Adenomyosis. I also have uterine fibroids. I have been advised Hysterotomy which is something I don’t want to go through since I’m only 39 and hoping for a miracle.
Kindly suggest if there is any cure in homeopathy for Adenomyosis or should I go for Hysterectomy?
Thank you and God bless you

Hi I have Adenomyosis for about two years for which I took allopathic medication (DIENOGEST 2) which gave me a few side effects (permanent spotting) but provided complete relief from menstrual pain and reduced the tissue growth in the uterus. I had to discontinue the medication after I got covid+ (this medicine also has the side effect of blood clots)
Now my growth is slightly increased from the last scan and my menstrual pain is back to how severe it used to be. Would you be able to suggest any homeopathic medication?
