10 Adenomyosis Symptoms
Symptom #6: Infertility
Infertility is the inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term. Infertility can be in either males or females. In males, infertility is commonly due to deficiencies in the semen. Meanwhile, female infertility is often due to ovulatory issues. Some causes of infertility include the presence of antisperm antibodies, sexually transmitted infections, polycystic ovarian syndrome, pelvic inflammatory damage, endometriosis, advanced maternal age, and adenomyosis.
Infertility occurs in approximately 11 to 12 percent of patients with adenomyosis. Besides that, adenomyosis has also been associated with a higher incidence of premature rupture of membranes and preterm labor.
