I was just diagnosed with Diffuse Adenomyosis which is usually caused by trauma to the uterus from a c-section or pregnancy. Adenomyosis is cells/tissue growing on the trauma site, my MRI showed diffuse adenomyosis which encompasses my whole uterus and makes it 'heavy and bulky'. Four years ago I had an ultra sound and was told everything looked thick. I'm now going to be getting a hysterectomy of just the uterus because it's the only way to 'cure' it, I have constant pain and pressure. Hope this may helps. My family doctor couldn't diagnose this, he referred me to my OBGYN, she found it in a snap.
