10 Adenomyosis Symptoms
Symptom #7: Abdominal Distension
Abdominal distension usually occurs when there are substances such as fluid or gas that accumulate in the abdomen. This causes expansion of the abdomen. Patients often describe feeling bloated, increased pressure in the abdomen, or a sensation of fullness.
It is an issue commonly seen in various disorders such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, diabetes, and lactose intolerance. In adenomyosis, the uterus can become diffusely enlarged which leads to a feeling of increased pressure in the abdomen and pressure on the bladder.
