Incidence of adenomyosis is estimated on 20% in all of extracted uteruses. Clinically, it usually exists asymptomatically, but could be followed with dysmenorrhoea, menorrhagia and pelvic pain. One third of patients with adenomyosis are sterile, however in other two thirds, conception and pregnancy could have normal development, with delivery without complications. One of possible complications related to adenomyosis is rupture of uterus during delivery.
