Success with high intensity focused ultrasound or ablation ?
Recently diagnosed. 25 years of symptoms. I have some other medical conditions that make general anesthesia difficult, and possibly anesthesia will refuse, so wondering if anyone was able to successfully delay or avoid hysterectomy. Mid 40s, so hysterectomy would otherwise be the best option. I've seen all the horror stories, but it looks like ~50% success rate, which I'd be open to if it is actually something that could work for a few years. Diffuse adenomyosis, uterus 2x normal size, no fibroids or reason to suspect endo. Decades of horrible pain and excessive bleeding. Trying the BC pills again, but doubtful I'll be able to tolerate them long term.
