I'm going crazy with this whole adenomyosis thing, my doctor sputtered out about 4 different words last year when he diagnosed me. He used metaplasia with hyperplasia with adenomyosis causing polyps. I know what all of those words mean alone but together it sounds like a mess. I'm just reading through the stuff you all posted and some of what I have heard had been different. That during pregnancy the adenomyosis does stop but as soon as the pregnancy is over it gets worse. I've heard that gonadotropins can help, but nothing has helped me. In fact my doctor thought I was lying about all of my problems, so I got a new doctor and he diagnosed me. I have three children, I am young, I don't want anymore, does any one know anything about the prevalence of adenomyosis and uterine cancer? All of the women, with the exception of my aunt, have had hysterectomies due to cancer. Is this a precancerous condition? After my last d and c I haven't gone back to see my dr. I should but I'm so sick of it. Also, what are your menses like? Mine is 2 weeks of bleeding, so heavy I go through two boxes of tampons and some pads with severe cramping and pms, then two weeks off. Please any information would be appreciated.
