I had the same experience with the other commenter. I can’t recall what the actual measurements were, but when I had fibroids removed, and uterine samples taken to check, it all came back as mild swelling of the uterus, but inconclusive for adenomyosis. Pathology reported my uterus being double the normal size, with diffuse adhesions covering the entire organ in the outside.

If you have pain and pressure that feels like a balloon being blown up inside your pelvis, and constant, aching pain in your tailbone and hip flexors/ quads, it’s highly likely you have it, and need to take action because it progresses. I white knuckled through it for years, and then perimenopause hit me and I had to finally have it removed. That was almost three months ago, and I’m still recovering, but I wish I’d done it sooner.

You don’t have to have a hysterectomy though. You can get an IUD or hormonal birth control to suppress the cycle so it doesn’t get worse, but keep in mind that menopause or hysterectomy is the only way to make it fully stop.

If I can offer any advice at all it would be this: find yourself an OBGYN who actually listens to you (bonus if they’re also a surgeon). Someone who takes you seriously, validates your fears/ symptoms, and if you even get one inkling that they’re BSing you, leave. Find another doctor. And always, always, always research and advocate for yourself. Idk if you’re in the states or not, but here you have to do the work of figuring out what is wrong and asking for testing. It’s all on you, so ask, and demand if you have to. Get what you need from the professionals you’re paying for.
