I have never heard of this type of procedure and I would definitely take
more time to research your options. People have lived with Adenomyosis
for a long time so I don't think you should feel the need to rush! I
know the pain is bad, but you also don't want to make a decision that
you might regret down the road. I say....look deeper before you do
this!!!
