The topic Adenomatous Vaginae you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Adenosis of Vagina.

Quick Summary:

  • Vaginal Adenosis (VA or Adenosis of Vagina) is the presence of benign cervical glandular tissue or benign endometrial glandular tissue in the vaginal wall that may occur due to various factors
  • It can be described as part of a normal physiological process that is seen following menarche (the first occurrence of menstruation in a girl), in nearly half of the girls/women
  • Vaginal Adenosis may develop due to factors that include hormonal exposure, topical medications or chemotherapy, and treatment of condyloma acuminatum (an infectious disease that is transmitted sexually)
  • Adenosis of Vagina can also develop against a background of exposure to the chemical diethylstilbestrol (DES, a synthetic type of estrogen hormone). This is seen in a handful of cases affecting young women, whose mothers were previously exposed to DES during pregnancy
  • No significant signs and symptoms or complications are noted. The condition may result in the presence of a mass on the vaginal wall. Vaginal Adenosis is associated with certain types of cancers including squamous cell and clear cell types
  • A treatment may be undertaken for the underlying cause of Vaginal Adenosis, as required. The prognosis is mostly related to the underlying cause and its treatment
