Adenomyosis is endometriosis of the uterus. Symptoms of adenomyosis are painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea) and a larger amount of blood during mesntruation (hypermenorrhea). Endometriosis of the tubes and ovaries manifests with painful menstruation, pain before/after menstruation, irregular cycles, sterility etc. Given the symptoms you report, you could be experiencing endometriosis but this diagnosis should be confirmed with ultrasound examination and laparoscopy if necessary. You can consult a gynecologist for an expert opinion.
