Adenomyosis

This painful common medical condition that can be treated and controlled in most cases without surgical intervention, improving the quality of your life in a significant way.

Most women with adenomyosis do not have any symptoms. Adenomyosis is frequently found in a uterine tissue biospy after pelvic surgery.

When symptoms do present themselves, they include:

  • Heavy or prolonged menstrual periods (menorrhagia).

  • Painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea).

  • Recent onset of menstrual cramping that is gradually getting worse from one period to the next.

 

“Dr. Swan came highly recommended by another doctor I was seeing. She is a breath of fresh air from all my other ob/gyn I’ve dealt with. She’s direct, informative and just kind. I was nervous but once I talked to her, I felt that I was in good and very capable hands. She listened to me, gave me various solutions and helped me make informed decisions that was impactful for my situation. I implicitly trust Dr. Swan with any recommendations she makes for me.”
