Dysmenorrhea caused by adenomyosis can generally be treated effectively through medications, surgery, and other methods. Adenomyosis is a type of endometriosis in which endometrial tissue becomes abnormally located within the muscular wall of the uterus, causing significant uterine enlargement. During menstruation, the shedding of this ectopic endometrial tissue leads to severe dysmenorrhea. Women often experience progressively worsening menstrual pain, with extremely intense discomfort that significantly affects their daily life and work.
