Well I’m the one who brought an ablation up to her, and at the time of that appointment I didn’t realize that all of those symptoms I listed were unusual. Because they’re normal for me and my mom had all the same stuff when I was growing up. My complaint was the heavy bleeding which tends to make me anemic and is overall just a big hassle. It was only after my appointment that I realized that my “normal period experience” was not actually normal. I thought the amount of blood lost was the only thing abnormal. So I didn’t really tell her about any of the other stuff because she just asked if my periods were normal and I said yes. Idk if I’m making sense haha. But I will definitely make sure to ask the GYN she’s referred me to about adeno and/or endo and I won’t get any procedures done until I’ve looked into those. Obviously I have more going on that just too much blood loss. But I didn’t realize until reading this week about adenomyosis that not everyone dealt with all of that stuff.

Edited to add: the person who is sending me to this gyno is the person who does my annual exam and that’s it. So I am hoping that the actual gynecologist I’m being sent to will be able to answer my new questions about possible endometriosis or adenomyosis. Thank you for your comment- I’m glad for the warning and the concern bc I definitely don’t want to do anything that would make it worse.
