Adenomyosis occurs when the tissue lining the uterus (endometrium) invades the muscular wall (myometrium), causing thickening.
Adenomyosis can be considered an “internal endometriosis.”
It can cause heavy and painful periods (menorrhagia), as well as constant pelvic pain.
It is often related to deep emotional conflicts concerning the nest (home, family), motherhood, protecting children, and feelings of worthlessness within the family.
Adenomyosis is linked to an unconscious emotional conflict related to motherhood, home, and protecting children, where pain and inflammation are deeply internalized.
The uterus represents the home, the first house, the nest, and the capacity to nurture life.
The myometrium (muscle) represents the structure, strength, and protection of the nest.
When the endometrium invades the muscle, it is interpreted as an urgent biological need to make the nest stronger, larger, or more resilient, motivated by deep fears or pains that the woman experiences in complete isolation.
This is due, in most cases, to a stressful situation in the home (nest) where the woman feels she lacks the necessary control or protection.
A woman with adenomyosis may have a need for a stronger nest because she feels that her current home is dangerous, unstable, or unable to protect her children or herself.
Likewise, tissue growing out of place symbolizes an unmet need to protect, support, or hold onto a loved one, a child (real or symbolic), or a partner.
She may also feel devalued due to conflicts with her children, an unfulfilled desire for motherhood, or fear of not being a good mother.
In many cases, this is likely related to a poor relationship with her own mother.
When a woman has adenomyosis in her family (grandmothers, mothers), there may be memories of difficult births, miscarriages, infant deaths during delivery, etc.
As a consequence, she carries the expectation of having an “extremely strong uterus” so that it doesn’t rupture.
Do I feel that my home is a safe and strong space for me or my children?
What stories or traumas related to difficult pregnancies, miscarriages, or losses exist in my family tree?
Do I have extreme self-imposed demands regarding how I support or protect my family?
