Patient's question:
I have a particularly itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it the same as endometriosis?Doctor's answer:
Endometriosis and adenomyosis are different. Adenomyosis is just one type of endometriosis. Endometriosis has a broader scope, as this endometrium can be ectopic in any place outside the uterus, such as the ovaries, abdomen, cesarean section scars, fallopian tubes, etc. While adenomyosis is endometriosis that occurs in the muscular layer of the uterus. In other words, endometriosis includes adenomyosis.
