When it comes to adenomyosis vs endometriosis, the two are often confused

However, they’re different conditions. In either case, the questions we so often get asked here on team TRB are how do they impact fertility, and what can you do if you have one (or both)?

We sat down with Dr. Shannon Alexa at Main Line Fertility, an OB/GYN specialized in Reproductive Endocrinology, to break it all down.

This episode is powered by The Prelude Network, the largest and fastest-growing network of fertility clinics in the U.S. and Canada, offering cutting-edge treatment and personalized care.
