Adenomyosis is a form of endometriosis where endometrial tissue grows into the myometrium. Common symptoms include dysmenorrhea, increased menstrual flow, and prolonged periods. Hormonal therapy and oral contraceptives can help regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve symptoms. Surgery may also be used to treat prolonged bleeding. For some patients with adenomyosis, dripping periods after their period may be caused by the condition itself, endometrial diseases like cancer, or an intrauterine device (IUD). It is important for patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle and see a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
