ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying adenomyosis, a common condition in women that can cause pelvic pain and heavy bleeding. The researchers want to understand how adenomyosis progresses over time and what factors might influence this progression. They will use a type of ultrasound called transvaginal ultrasound to look for signs of the condition in participants.

Women aged 18 to 55 who have specific signs of adenomyosis may be eligible to join the study. However, those who have had a hysterectomy, are virgins, have had recent pregnancies, or have certain cancers cannot participate. If you join the trial, you will help researchers learn more about adenomyosis, which could lead to better treatments in the future. Your participation will involve some tests, and you'll be informed about everything you need to know along the way.
