Recent advances in imaging have renewed interest in uterine adenomyosis. The disease can now be diagnosed before hysterectomy which has advanced our understanding of its clinical impact, such as its effect on fertility. This book will provide an in-depth reference to recent scientific advances in the pathophysiology of uterine adenomyosis. It will represent some of the most up-to date and authoritative work in the field. This book is aimed at specialist clinicians and postgraduates wishing to acquire in-depth understanding of adenomyosis, and will be an essential reading for research scientists who will find a distillation of an up-to-date critical reading of literature.
