Have 1 simple question...........

Why with adenomyosis, is hysterectomy the only option? I know of many women that have had options, why are they not with this condition? Just curious.

Hysterectomy is not the only option. Depending on the individual lady, how severe the problem is, and/or how close to menopause some women wait-- for menopause to cure the problem.

Thanks, I guess with my situation, is the only option. I'm 31, have 4 children, had a liagation after my last was born. Have been having problems for 3 years. My gyn found several fibroids, along with the other. My uterus is 3 times the size it should be. So there you have it, my only option.

Hi

I don't have any personal experience with adeno but wanted to share a link to the resource section that may be helpful.Endo/adeno...click here

Have you got a second opinion from a different doctor to see if there are other options available? I know it must be frustrating to feel as if there are no alternatives available. Hopefully a second or third opinion will help answer your questions.

Best Wishes

There are plenty of alternatives for adeno - ranging from hormone treatments (think birth control pills), to a D&C, and so forth. Whether or not they will work is different from woman to woman. I believe I tried it all to no avail in my case and a hyst was the final straw. Now that I've had it done, I've not had one regret!
