Heavy, painful periods. Large clots. An enlarged uterus on ultrasound. And a workup that keeps coming back normal. If this sounds familiar, there is a condition called adenomyosis that is responsible for a pattern of suffering that has been normalized for far too long — and it is found in up to 35% of women with recurrent pregnancy loss or infertility.
In this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur, DO walks through exactly what adenomyosis is, why standard ultrasound frequently misses it, how it impairs implantation and contributes to pregnancy loss, and what a restorative approach to evaluation and treatment looks like. Through Hailey's story — a woman who had failed two IUI cycles, a shortened luteal phase, and years of normalized period pain — you will see how the right evaluation finally connected the dots.
You will learn:
What adenomyosis is, how it differs from endometriosis, and why the two frequently coexist
Why a normal ultrasound does not rule out adenomyosis — and what an experienced sonographer and MRI can find that standard imaging misses
What treatment looks like when preserving fertility is the goal — and why hysterectomy should never be the first conversation
If you have been told your heavy periods are just your normal — this episode will help you ask better questions at your next appointment. Learn more or schedule a free discovery call at radiantclinic.com.
