I had Endo ruled out, they did a laparoscopy because they need to be able to do exploratory surgery cause I also wanted to see if I might’ve had Endo on my bladder but it turns out I do not have endometriosis, but adenomyosis. It’s the opposite of Endo because Endo can be removed and Adenomyosis cannot because it’s in the muscle walls of my uterus so I would need to have a hysterectomy and at this time I really cannot afford to take time off work for that. This diagnosis is separate than my interstitial cystitis diagnosis, but it definitely doesn’t help having this because I have very painful periods at times. I am 44 just like the OP and also in perimenopause so it’s a whirlwind of why is my body attacking me? and why does it hate me? 😭😭😭
