Adenomyosis causes painful symptoms like heavy periods and can persist after menopause for some women. While some may find relief from symptoms once periods cease, others continue experiencing lower abdominal pain even after menopause. This is more likely for women with larger uterus sizes over 8cm or an abundance of adenomyosis lesions. For these women, proactive treatments before menopause like Traditional Chinese Medicine or surgery may help alleviate ongoing pain. The decision to treat adenomyosis pre-menopause should consider symptom severity and standardized medical evaluation is important for patient health and well-being.
