Need info on adenomyosis

I am new to the forum and was wondering if anyone can give me some information. My doctor thinks that I have adenomyosis. Of course, the only way to 100% diagnose it is to do a hysterectomy. I am trying to hold off on having hysterectomy due to my age (30). I have been reading articles on adeno and I have some..but not all symptoms. The dr made no remark about enlarged/boggy uterus. I think it's fine. However, I have begun to have heavier periods (but not necessarily painful). I also have alot of pelvic pressure to the point that my back, hips, and legs hurt at times. The pressure starts about 2 weeks before period and continues til my period ends. Some months my period is on time..other months it maybe 10 days late. Some months it may last 3 days...other it may last over a week. I think that all of this still falls within the "normal" range of a cycle although I'm beginning to see more changes with irregularity/heaviness. I have had endometriosis before (diagnosed by lap). After years of treatments and pain returning, another lap was done but endo was not found. My new gyno believes that adenomyosis is the culprit. Could I possibly have adenomyosis even though I am not having problems with "unusually" heavy periods and enlarged uterus?? If anyone can give me some insight, I would greatly appreciate it!! Thank You!!
