This week, we’re cracking open a condition that’s often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and massively under-discussed: adenomyosis.

It might not get the headlines that endometriosis does, but trust us — it deserves your attention. From heavy, painful periods to fertility struggles, the symptoms of adenomyosis can have a huge impact on quality of life. But what exactly is it? Why does it happen? And why is it so tricky to diagnose?

We explore how adenomyosis is picked up (spoiler: it’s not always straightforward), whether it’s linked to endometriosis (are they evil twin sisters?), and what your treatment options are — from medication to surgery and everything in between. We also tackle common myths (no, it’s not caused by stress), dig into the future of research, and answer your most asked questions.

Whether you’ve never heard of adenomyosis, think you might have it, or already live with a diagnosis, this one’s for you.
