Hi, just posting for advice on adenomyosis treatment if anyone can help!
I have had this diagnosed through an ultrasound because I have spotting for most of the month. My main problem though is back pain and not being able to go to the toilet so much of it feels like it’s in my back.
I’ve also had an ablation which I feel like in hindsight I shouldn’t have had as this just apparently makes the cells more trapped.
Recently, my gynaecologist hasn’t listened at all. I went in and said my symptoms are not heavy periods but are x,y and z and I do not want the coil as treatment. His response in a follow up letter was you have adenomyosis and the symptoms are likely heavy periods and the treatment is a coil. So not only did he not listen when I say I don’t have heavy periods because of the ablation, he didn’t listen to the fact I don’t want a coil. When I mentioned inability to go the toilet that was shrugged off as not connected.
I’m going to a different consultant soon and worried that they’ll say the same thing. My question is, would the mirena really shrink my uterus to the point where my back is no longer impacted? I’ve had an ablation so I don’t see how it could have that much of a positive impact and shrink to the point of taking away the back pain. I just feel like I want it all taken away but am I taking the easy option?
Any advice would be gratefully received!
