I have noticed more severe backache before I get my period. I am 47 yrs old and have extreme heavy bleeding (2nd, 3rd and 4th day tampon and night pad changed between every hour to two. With my last pelvic exam I was told that my uterus that was always at 10 wk went to 12. I am scheduled for a sonagram next week, what could this be? I was also told that I have fybroids.

Dear Carol-
Thank you for your posting.
Your symptoms are classic for Adenomyosis..this is uterine endometriosis(see website section). Most gyns will recommend a hysterectomy…we advise against that due to the multitude of post hyst complications, ie:depression, hormone imbalance, sexual dysfunctioning and bowel/bladder prolapse.
Our FAS procedure is a one of kind laser debulking treatment that allows the women the freedom to keep her uterus, but be virtually symptom free.
We have had great success with this…and have had many women choose FAS as an option.
