#drzakia #dr001 Adenomyosis or Bulky Uterus is a benign (not life-threatening) condition of the uterus in which the cells that normally line the inside of the uterus (endometrium), grow into the muscle layer (myometrium) of the uterus. Adenomyosis is only found in women who are in their reproductive years. The finding of the glandular material in the uterine wall may cause the uterus to become enlarged (called hypertrophy) and sometimes doctors use the term 'bulky uterus'. This simply means that the uterus (usually about 8 x 5 x 4 cm in dimension) is larger than 12 cm in length and more than 6 cm thick normal standards of uterine dimensions are7. 6x4. 5x3. Non pregnant uterine size varies with age, number of pregnancies and patient endocrinological status, normal adult uterus measures approximately 7.2-9.0cm long, 4.5-6.0cm wide and 2.05-3.5 deep(1). Two of the most common causes of an enlarged uterus are uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. Uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are common noncancerous tumors of the muscular wall of the uterus, affecting as many as eight in 10 women by the age of 50. Fibroids more commonly affect women over age 30. Conclusion. An enlarged uterus is usually not an indication of a serious health condition. Doctors will use CT scans and ultrasounds to determine the exact cause of enlargement.
