I was recently diagnosed with Adenomyosis – my doctor did an ultra sound after a pelvic exam. Have you heard of accupuncture or other alternative medicine being used to treat this problem? |

I am 36yrs old and I have two children and I have just underwent a laporoscopy in Dec. My doctor said that I have adenomyosis and wants to perform a hysterectomy, but I would like to have another child. So she has since said that we could wait until the pain is so bad that their is no alternative or to try and conceive. I am not ready to concieve just yet and the pain is not real painful. My question is should I wait? Or if I did the laser surgery would I still have the option to have another child? |

I am 35 years old. I had my first miscarriage when I was 24 and after that a series of miscarriages occured (9 miscarriages). I went to several doctors but could NOT really determined the cause. Some say I have incompetent cervix since I usually lost my babies when it reached 4 to 6 months. When I reached the age of 30, one of the doctors told me that I have adenomyosis and her diagnosis why Im losing my babies is because of that. I only have one child and hoping to have another one but do you think it will be possible to conceive again. My past miscarriages made it so traumatic that everytime I conceive, I feel so tortured. Please help me decide whether to hope for another chance or just forget it. Im feeling hopeless right now. |

I am 36 years old. I have always had severe bleeding and cramps. I have one child who is 5 years old. Three weeks ago I had surgery to remove what was supposed to be a large fibroid tumor. What was found was a adenomyoma. The doctor removed all that she could without going in to the lining of the uterus. Now she says that I should try to conceive as soon as possible. I am wondering what my chances are of carrying a pregnancy to term now that I have had the surgery. I had a miscarriage last summer. I would appreciate your thoughts. |

I had a laproscopy in 1/97. At the time, the doctor said I had probable adnomyosis and endometriosis; however, the endometriosis was not outside the uterus. I have a 3rd degree retroverted uterus which at the time was 1 and 1/2 times its normal size. The uterus was boggy and moddled in appearance. I have bad back pain 3 weeks per month, heavy periods with clotting, painful sex and other pains all throughout the month. I am 30 years old with absolutely no plans for a family. My doctor says I can have a hysterectomy if I want it but I don’t know. I live in Georgia. ARe there doctors in Georgia who practice with your same philosophy? |

Dear Dr. He never talked to me about the fibroids and since that time, quit the practice. Knowing what I do now, I believe him to be a very bad doctor. I don’t know what to do, but know that I don’t want to lose my uterus! I have an appointment with a new doctor’s PA. I am not sure what they will find. I do know that I want to have the tumors removed. What should I do next? |

One month ago, I had a DNC, and 2 large cysts were romoved from my ovaries. My doctor thought this would stop the constant bleeding and cramps. I had a normal period 3 days after the surgery. Now I am back to the heavy bleeding, cramping and blood clots. I have been on pain medication for almost 3 months now (off and on) My doctor told me today that I have Adenomyosis. I actually begged her to remove the uterus, because I am so tired of the pain and other symptoms. I am bloated all the time, even after losing 25 lbs, my abdomen is still huge! I only weigh 110 and I am 5’1″, which is a good weight for me. I can’t have any more children anyway, I’m 36 (tubes tied and burned). Is there some benefit to FAS for me? I almost would rather not have my uterus any more than to have this pain. How could FAS benefit someone who does not intend to have more children? The doctor said that she will leave the ovaries and take the uterus vaginally. I am just curious. Thanks. (My surgery is scheduled for June 19th.) |

To Lynda, As you can see, I am in a similar situation. Are you going ahead with the hysterectomy on June 19? I would love to “chat” with you on line about this. Hope you are coping with this, I know how horrible it is and how difficult it is to make a decision. Paula |

Dear Dr. I am 35 years old and I am trying to become pregnant for 2 1/2 years. I was just told that I have Adenomyosis based on an ultrasound and hysterosalpinogram. My periods are light and I do not have menstrual cramps. However, I have 1-2 days of bright red bleeding 10 days past ovulation. I am ovulating regularly, thyroid tested ok, tubes ok, but I have a couple small fibroids. I do have some sharp/acidic/burning pain about 1″ to the right of my belly button – my Dr. says I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I was tested for Chron’s disease and it was negative. This burning comes and goes and it is manageable. My dream would be to have a child. What should I do next? |

Dear Doctor, I am 43 yrs old and two weeks ago I was diagnosed as having a fibroid tumor, about the size of a lime, and the gyn suspects adenomyosis. He suggested a hysterectomy. But I told him that I would like to think about it. But I don’t want a hysterectomy. That to me would be my final option. So I have been reading about what is out there for me. Though my family physician does not accept a hysterectomy, he also said that would be my final option. So with two different opinions now I am so confused on what to do. Please any help would be appreciated on my problem. Thank you for your time. |

I AM A 31YR.OLD MOTHER OF 4. I STARTED AT AN EARLY AGE. I WAS 15 WHEN I HAD MY FIRST 17, 19, AND 21 WHEN I HAD MY LAST. I HAD A HYSTERECTOMY LAST WEEK DUE TO FIBROIDS AND SEVERE PAIN. I RECEIVED MY PATHOLOGY REPORT TODAY AND IT STATED THAT I HAD CHRONIC ADENOMYOSIS. I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME HAVING KIDS AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE. I FEEL GREAT TODAY AND ITS ONLY 6 DAYS AFTER SURGERY. |

Dr.: If I can “hang” in there until menopause, obviously I’d like to, and not aggravate the situation further by taking HRT, but instead use alternatives. Thank you. |
