5 Myths of Adenomyosis. OBGYN explains

Adenomyosis is one of the most misunderstood causes of painful, heavy periods—and a lot of what women are told about it is simply not true. In this video, I break down *5 common myths about adenomyosis* and explain what’s actually happening in your body—so you can better understand your symptoms and know when to seek care. We’ll cover: • Why painful periods are *not always normal* • Who actually gets adenomyosis (it’s not just “older women”) • Why it’s more than just heavy bleeding • The truth about ultrasound and diagnosis • Whether hysterectomy is the only treatment Bonus myth also included! As an OB-GYN, I see many patients who have been told their symptoms are “normal” or “just part of aging”—when in reality, conditions like adenomyosis are often **underdiagnosed and treatable**. If your periods are getting worse over time, interfering with your daily life, or not responding to typical treatments, it may be worth having a deeper conversation with your doctor. 💬 Have you heard any of these myths before?
