Adenomyosis vs Fibroids—Know the Difference
Adenomyosis or fibroid—which one is messing with your uterus? Let’s clear the confusion.
Fibroids: Localized solid growths, usually well-defined.
Adenomyosis: Diffuse thickening of the uterus, often poorly defined.
On ultrasound:
Adenomyosis shows a “mottled” or speckled muscle layer.
Fibroids may cast shadows and have a clearer border.
Doppler Scan: Adenomyosis shows more scattered blood flow; fibroids show peripheral flow.
