I had adenomyosis, the internal version inside the walls of the uterus. It sucked. I was wearing diapers to control this and just bleeding a flood for weeks at a time. I became severely anemic, had knife stabbing pain constantly both in my stomach and in my back. Some days I couldnt work. One week I had to stay on holiday while the life and blood just drained from me. I went to 10 hospitals/clinics and no one knew what was wrong with me until I got to the 11th one. Had MRIs and any other scans imaginable but they did not see anything. I also tried hormones, artificial menopause, etc but nothing help. The issue started when I was 22. Finally they granted my request to take out my uterus. at 23.

They were reluctant, stating that I need to have children. lol? I am like, nah.. you would not be supporting them. Also I am NOT going to have sex in this condition. How am I getting pregnant? I either don’t have a kid from lack of sex, or I don’t have a kid from the lack of a uterus. I can always adopt.

Pretty sure I always had this condition though. I rarely had periods and the hundreds of times my partners did sex over the years, I never got pregnant. Anyway, they couldn’t confirm my condition until after the hysterectomy and microscopic analysis. I am much happier now. No pain, no periods.
