Does anyone else have adenomyosis? I do....I found out on an ultrasound this week....my uterus is in the “top 10%” for size, (so THAT’S why my clothes aren’t fitting well ), and the doctor was pretty forceful in saying I really need a hysterectomy. I am 43 yrs old. BUT.......I can’t do anything until Lily gets her surgery done next month, and would wait anyway to do something that drastic (hysterectomy) until she gets her trach out at the end of the Summer, if her surgeries go well.

I know there is a lot of info out there about endometriosis and diet....but not a lot about adenomyosis. The doc sort of laughed at me when I asked if losing weight, ( I am sure I am a walking estrogen factory with these fat stores....I’m tellin’ ya’!! ), and started exercising again.....etc etc, would make any difference...but he said that probably wouldn’t do anything. BUT....he is also a pretty secular kind of doc....BUT....my former doc, who was NFP only, said I needed a hyster as well.

I am in pain with these periods, like I can’t handle anything on my abdomen, I look four months pregnant..or more...with my cycles....and I am drained from the bleeding.

I do have a phone consult with Pope Paul VI tomorrow......and a visit to my internist tomorrow night...so those will both be fact finding times for me.

Thanks, Ladies.

I heard this word for the first time two days ago when my 48 year old sister was diagnosed with the same thing! Her symptoms are the same as yours and her doc is recommending a hysterectomy, too. Just the uterus, not the ovaries. I wish I knew more. Please post anything you find out--I'd love to pass the info along to my sis.

Lots of prayers for you and your family.
