00:00This little-known condition can affect as many as one in five women, known as adenomyosis.
00:06The condition can cause irregular and heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and can affect fertility.
00:13Women who do become pregnant may be at further risk of miscarriage, pre-term delivery, pre-eclampsia, and bleeding after delivery.
00:21A lot remains unknown about the condition, and Science Alert confirms it is difficult to diagnose.
00:27However, developments have been made in recent years, identifying adenomyosis without the need for a previously required hysterectomy.
00:36Doctors are working towards a further standardized method for non-surgical diagnosis.
00:42Mayo Clinic reports the disease usually resolves after menopause.
