Adenomyosis is an estrogen dependent benign gynecological disease affecting women of reproductive age causing them to have an adverse effect. Symptoms in these patients include pelvic pain, menorrhagia, abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility. It has a negative impact on a woman’s reproductive ability. The gold standard treatment for adenomyosis is hysterectomy for whom fertility is not an issue and for whom future pregnancy has no concerns, however females who wish to retain uterus for child bearing purposes the treatment seems to be very challenging. In this literature we will focus on how adenomyosis affects the reproductive outcome in women and what is its impact on the pregnancy rate also we will enlighten the pregnancy outcomes and pregnancy rate in patient with adenomyosis after various treatment Including the medical, surgical and in-vitro fertilization.
