Re: adenomyosis and hysterectomy

Hi Jenn:

I had adenomyosis, which was discovered at the time of my hysterectomy. I had terrible pain, heavy bleeding and swelling until the hyst, but all of the symptoms completely disappeared after it was done. The endo alone would have been enough for me to do the hyst, but after finding out that I had adenomyosis too, I was even more grateful to have it all taken out. I should probably mention that I had both pre-sacral and uterosacral neurectomies during prior surgeries, so you can imagine that if I was feeling that kind of pain that it was pretty darned bad!

I don't regret the hyst for a second, even with the hormones and surgical menopause. I was lucky enough to have three children first, and I don't know what your situation is. I had three pain free years until the adhesions started getting bad. I have a tendency to develop dense scar tissue and knew it was a risk associated with having the surgery, but I was in so much pain that I just didn't care. Your own predisposition towards dense adhesions is also a factor to consider. I hope this helps.
