What does this mean, bulky, isn't adenomyosis is it, what have the docs suggested for treatment,

[drewturk in reply to Tboag]

The treatments he offered me are coil or ablation

[Tboag in reply to drewturk]

Do you have children, want children? What are your symptoms?

Bulky uterus usually means adenomyosis....as far as I'm aware it's just like endo but called something different due to the location. I think it basically means you have endo within the lining of your womb. The just can't call it endo because "endo" means outside (the womb)..apparently mri will show adenomyosis.

Hope this helps.

Do your research on an ablation i had one due to flooding,was told it would stop my bleeding,It stopped the flooding but i still have very very heavy periods more pain and i am only off for about 4 to 6 days a month(although it was only a little better before) I had my ablation done while i was awake and also had a tumour removed which i saw being done very intresting to watch it all.

Hi a bulky uterus can be a sign of adenomyosis, here's some useful information about it -

If you haven't tried it yet, it's probably worth you trying Mirena, it does seem to help some women with adenomyosis a lot, but others it doesn't suit at all, unfortunately it's a very individual thing, there is no way of knowing without trying it!
