Adenomyosis can make a uterus enlarged and boggy...mine didn't look that
way during the excision, but I was just coming off Lupron so who knows.
There are reports of good diagnoses through MRI, but the only definitive
diagnosis for adeno is dissection after a hyst.
Endometrial cancer probably would have been ruled in or out if I'd had
the standard D and C, but I did not.
I do feel better on a day to day basis, just not better enough and I'm
still getting killed on my periods.
I wish you the very best of luck!
