Back from the third dcotor now and nothing but good news.

She thinks the adenomyosis is just a part of aging and not serious because of where it was found. But she said it does cause pressure and won't go away until I go through menopause.

But re: the fibroids and extreme menstrual problems. I've pretty much decided on an ablation using HTA and at which time she'll use a resectoscope to remove the fibroids.

Of course, if the adenomyosis is cuasing more of the symptoms that we suspect, then I may have to eventually have a hysterectomy.

But I'm good with this for right now. I will just be out of commission the day of and the day after the procedure (or so), except heavy lifting etc for two weeks. It's an immediate fix too, so I feel pretty good about going this conservative route for now.
