Would a Mirena IUD help my endometriosis and adenomyosis?
I’m 38 years old, overweight and my ObGgyn has basically bullied me into my only option of Mirena to treat my endometriosis and adenomyosis. I don’t plan to become pregnant nor do I want children. I’ve been suffering with various symptoms on a daily basis and these symptons were only lessened while I was on Micronor for about 6 months then the pain returned with a vengence. I would prefer to have a hysterectomy because I am afraid that the severity of the diease would invade my bladder and bowel. I am aware that a hysterectomy may not completely help my symptoms because I have scar tissue and implants in the adominal cavity. I dont see how having a iud placed is going to reduce my pain when the trans vaginal ultra scan was very painful. Do I have any other options or suggestions?
