Adenomyosis
Causes of Adenomyosis
The cause of adenomyosis aren't known. Some experts believe that adenomyosis results from the direct invasion of endometrial cells into the uterine walls. Sometimes an operation, such as a C-section (Caesarean section), can make this invasion of cells easier. Other experts speculate that adenomyosis originates within the uterine walls (myometrium) from endometrial tissue deposited there when the uterus was first forming in the female fetus.
