Abstract

This review is timely and relevant for several reasons. The incidence of adenomyosis begins to rise from the mid-thirties. Moreover, more women are delaying their first pregnancy until later in their thirties or forties, and consequently adenomyosis is encountered more frequently in the fertility clinic during diagnostic work-up. Furthermore, it is difficult to diagnose adenomyosis before surgery, because there are no pathognomonic signs, symptoms or physical findings. Finally, reference data are very limited.
