Adenomyosis and Endometriosis

Adenomyosis affects around 10% of women in the UK and is most prevalent in women aged 40-50, particularly those who have had pregnancies. It is frequently found alongside endometriosis and uterine fibroids and can cause heavy, painful, or irregular periods.

In this podcast Dr Thomas Round talks to Dr Sharon Dixon, a GP in Oxford with a background in supporting GPs with female patients suffering with endometriosis and their periods, about the symptoms, initial assessment, diagnosis and treatment of adenomyosis as well as its possible causes and overlap with endometriosis. This podcast falls within the Gynaecology and Breast curriculum field.
