The differences between endo, PCOS and Adenomyosis

While I usually only talk about endometriosis here on my blog, I decided that I wanted to spread awareness on two other conditions that you can have as well as endometriosis, and that’s PCOS (polycystic overt syndrome) and Adenomyosis. Before I start, let’s go over what each one is. Google defines endometriosis as A disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus.

Google defines adenomyosis as A condition in which endometrial tissue exists within and grows into the uterine wall. Adenomyosis most often occurs late in childbearing years and typically disappears after menopause Google defines PCOS as A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges. The cause of polycystic ovary syndrome isn't well understood but may involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. So now...
