Doctor's answer:
Adenomyosis is more common in women aged around 40-50 who have given birth. The main symptoms include mild abdominal pain during menstruation that starts several years after giving birth and typically worsens over time. This condition generally does not respond well to medication. A combination of medication and physical therapy is usually adopted, but the specific approach depends on your individual situation and requires selecting a treatment plan tailored to you to actively control the condition.
