The art piece shows the enlarged and inflamed uterus in the pelvis, characteristic of the adenomyosis.

Adenomyosis is a disease of the myometrium caused by misplaced or ectopic endometrium in the myometrium resulting in myometrial hyperplasia and smooth muscle hypertrophy clinically manifesting as pelvic pain and uterine enlargement.   The entity can be focal or diffuse

The red uterus is positioned in the background of a dark X-ray of the abdomen enabling the symptomatic uterus to be highlighted.  Women with this condition suffer from severe pelvic pain, that hurts “down to the bone”
