ADENOMYOSIS

Adenomyosis is a condition characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue into the muscular wall of the uterus, leading to symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, painful periods, and pelvic pain. Homeopathic management focuses on alleviating symptoms, regulating hormonal balance, and addressing the individual’s overall constitution to provide long-term relief.
