Re: Melissa - AdenomyosisFrom: Melissa (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Jan 28 13:27:37 1999
That is correct to an extent. Here's what happened to me. I had a lap in Dec 98, my doc (an endo specialist), only found one powder burn lesion in my pelvic region. (I had endo lasered in 1997 as well). It was during surgery that he noticed my uterus was large, bulbous and spongy. These are physical characteristic of adeno. When I went for my post op, he told me what he suspected. Based on my history and the fact that he did not find extensive endo in my pelvic cavity and the condition of my uterus he is highly suspicious of adeno. I went last week for an ultrasound. You can detect changes in the endometrium that are characteristic of adeno by ultrasound or MRI (they must be read by someone experienced). So, it is true that to confirm adeno you have to do a uterine biopsy or biopsy after a hysterectomy, but someone skilled in endo can make an educated guess based on your history and laparascope. He also felt regions of tenderness in my uterus during the pelvic exam. I hope this helps.

My old gyn, the one that didn't know what she was talking about, said the only way Adenomyosis could be diagnosed is by having a hysterectomy which sounded like bs to me. I have not asked my new GYN about it but am interested. Chrissy
