adenomyosis

Hi all,

My wife was just diagnosed with adenomyosis by US in Mt. Sinai hospital in Toronto.

My wife is 36 yo. She delivered our son by C-S 13 month ago. She had 2 prevous pregnancies with 2 D&Cs after each one (don't ask). Her periods started almost right after the c-s even though she was breastfeeding. The periods became increasingly painfull with extensive bleeding. Last month she was crying from pain :-( She's anemic - according to the blood work. She's taking iron (ferrous fumerate) 200 mg daily.

She finally met with gyn dr. He said - you'll need hysterectomy one day, but here's cyclokapron to reduce the bleeding. Will it help with the pain? He says - no.

We'd like to have more kids, especially considering looming hysterectomy.

1. What about other drugs, like Ponstan? We really don't like Cyclokapron possible complications, btw gyn dr didn't bother mentioning them. And he didn't say anything about other drugs, like contraceptive pills etc.

2. Where do we get best possible treatment for this conditiong in Toronto? Canadian health care can be quite frustrating at times.

3. Should we get MRI? Gyn dr sent us to Hysterosonogram (If I am not mistaken - US with liquid in uterus). I read adenomyosis goes with other bad things together - will MRI help to giagnose them?

Thanks a lot.
