Adenomyosis is a condition in which the inner lining of the uterus (the endometrium) breaks through the muscle wall of the uterus (the myometrium). Adenomyosis can cause menstrual cramps, lower abdominal pressure, and bloating before menstrual periods and can result in heavy periods. The condition can be located throughout the entire uterus or localised in one spot.

Though adenomyosis is considered a benign (not life-threatening) condition, the frequent pain and heavy bleeding associated with it can have a negative impact on a woman’s quality of life. Adenomyosis is a common condition. It is most often diagnosed in middle-aged women and women who have had children. Some studies also suggest that women who have had prior uterine surgery may be at risk for adenomyosis.

Happy new month friends! Make every second count and don’t let anyone make you feel negative or unhappy.

‘There’s nothing weak about kindness and compassion. There’s nothing weak about being honourable. You’re not a sucker to have integrity, and to treat others with respect…’ Former U.S President, Barack Obama

Respect Others!
Your show of kindness and compassion doesn’t reduce your worth in anyway. Rather you have more value added to your worth when you add value to others by showing compassion and respect.
