A member asked:

What happens to cause adenomyosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Trauma: It's believed the trauma to the inside of the inside of the uterus and muscular wall like in cesarean sections may play a role. Otherwise, the mechanics and chemistry that tell the lining to stay superficial on top of the myometrium (uterine muscle) may malfunction.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
