  • Title: Non-specificity of symptoms related to adenomyosis. A prospective comparative survey.
    Author: Kilkku P, Erkkola R, Grönroos M.
    Journal: Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand; 1984; 63(3):229-31. PubMed ID: 6730938.
    Abstract:
    A total of 212 patients coming for removal of the uterus due to a benign condition were interviewed by the first author before operation. Of these patients 28 had adenomyosis, while 157 had neither adenomyosis nor external endometriosis; these two groups were compared with respect to duration of menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, urinary symptoms and sacral and lower abdominal pain. There were no inter-group differences in the frequencies of these symptoms. It is concluded that although patients with adenomyosis have many symptoms, none specific to adenomyosis can be found.
