When the uterine lining or similar tissue grows outside the uterine cavity (uterine muscle, ovaries, fallopian tubes, peritoneum, ligaments around the uterus, bladder, vaginal wall, etc.), it is called endometriosis, and when it grows inside the uterine muscle, it is called adenomyosis.
in young unmarried women in their 20s? Statistics show that more young women in their 20s and 30s have uterine conditions such as fibroids, adenomyosis and endometriosis.

Cause 1
Persistently high levels of the female hormone estrogen are involved in its growth and can lead to it.
-
Cause 2
Changes in the uterine muscle tissue can make it similar to lining tissue, leading to adenomyosis.
-
Cause 3
Other factors, such as genetics, hormone imbalance and stress

Lower belly pain and chronic pelvic pain
Long-lasting chronic pelvic pain is one of the main symptoms of adenomyosis. You feel pain in the lower belly, together with a tight, squeezing pain in the pelvis.
-
Heavy periods
Period pain gets worse, ongoing bleeding can cause anemia, periods may start about a week early, and bleeding becomes heavier. This is because the lining and glandular tissue cause extra bleeding during the cycle and make periods heavier.
-
Miscarriage and infertility
Adenomyosis can cause infertility and miscarriage, so it must be treated early. Along with heavy periods and other symptoms, it can also cause pregnancy complications.
Future pregnancy and childbirth
may become impossible. If an unmarried woman's gynecologic ultrasound shows fibroids or another uterine condition, she should decide on treatment with a specialist. Treating it with surgery such as removal of the fibroid or the uterus can make future pregnancy and childbirth impossible.
Surgery that removes the whole uterus because the fibroid is large
Surgery that removes the fibroid with instruments through small cuts instead of a large abdominal incision
Surgery that removes the fibroid itself
