Re: Adenomyosis?

An MRI can detect Adenomyosis. I had continual pelvic pain after having
my endo removed and we did an MRI for Adeno and it was negative. My
continual pelvic pain was caused by a condition called Interstitial
Cystitis, a bladder condition, which is common with women with Endo.
There are many reasons for pelvic pain, but there are means of narrowing
the cause down!
