Abstract

Background: Adenomyosis is characterized by the detection of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium about one and a half low power field away from endomyometrial junction. There are also smooth muscle changes associated with the main findings ,although they are less obvious and difficult to quantify on routine histological examination

Materials and Methods: Case records of the patients who had undergone hysterectomy in Govt. Medical College Jammu from January 2017 to December 2018 were reviewed and number of cases diagnosed as Adenomyosis were recorded.

Out of 1356 patients who underwent hysterectomy, 176 patients were found to have Adenomyosis. Majority were between age group of 31 to 50 years.

Results: Adenomyosis was present in 176 patients out of 1356 hysterectomies during a study period of 2 years. The comorbid conditions were seen in 80 patients. Majority of age group was between 31 to 50 years.
