Recently I was diagnosed with “Andenomyosis”. I want to get pregnant, but was wondering can I carry a baby full term with this diagnosis? What could be the side effects or dangers if any?
Thank you,
Sue

Dear Sue-
Adenomyosis is seen in two forms…localized and diffuse. Most patients have the diffuse type, which damages the uterine muscle over time. Some women are unable to even get pregnant, then many others miscarry in the first trimester. Your ability to carry a child will be dependent upon the extent the disease as infiltrated into the muscle and damaged the uterus.
If your adeno is localized, like a fibroid, fertility is possible.
Good Luck
