Abstract: Adenomyosis is a common disease among women of childbearing age. The incidence rate is increasing while the pathogenesis is still unclear. Epidemiological investigation is biased by diagnostic criteria. The clinical manifestations are diverse, including progressive dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility. It is also related to a variety of adverse pregnancy outcomes, affecting womens reproductive health and family relationship. In addition, adenomyosis can be complicated with a variety of hormone-dependent diseases, especially endometriosis. In such cases, the pain symptoms are more severe and diverse, and the pregnancy outcomes are poorer, further complicating the clinical manifestations.

Key words: Adenomyosis, Epidemiology, Endometriosis, Pain, Infertility
