<p><strong>Adenomyosis: Diagnostic Tests and Procedures</strong></p>
<p>If your symptoms indicate adenomyosis, doctor at first conducts a thorough physical examination of your pelvic region. This could expose an enlarged and swollen uterus. This indicates uterine mass or tenderness. Adenomyosis is often misdiagnosed as uterine fibroids since symptoms are almost same. Adenomyosis is growth within uterine wall while fibroids are tissues attached to uterine wall. Since adenomyosis is similar to various other ailments of uterus like fibroid tumors, endometriosis, and uterine polyps, doctor can ascertain adenomyosis only after eliminating possibility of other diseases.</p>
<p><strong>Diagnostic Tests and Procedures for Adenomyosis</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ultrasound:</strong> This test allows doctor to see your uterus, its muscular wall and lining on a computer image. Although ultrasound does not definitely indicate adenomyosis, it rules out most other ailments with similar symptoms. It can detect uterine tumors, if any.</p>
<p><strong>Sonohysterography:</strong> Saline solution is injected into uterus through a tiny tube before starting with ultrasound. This offers a clearer diagnosis of adenomyosis.</p>
<p><strong>MRI:</strong> MRI is Magnetic Resonance Imaging. If you suffer from abnormal uterine bleeding, MRI offers the best and most accurate diagnosis. Also, if ultrasound does not yield accurate diagnosis, MRI offers better and correct diagnosis. This is a better diagnostic procedure due to increased soft tissue differentiation possible through higher spatial and contrast resolution.</p>
<p><strong>Biopsy:</strong> In rare cases, doctor advises biopsy of endometrial tissue. This helps doctor decide that abnormal uterine bleeding is not due to any other serious ailments.</p>
<p><strong>Blood Test:</strong> This does not diagnose adenomyosis. Yet your doctor would advise you to have a blood test done to determine amount of menstrual blood lost. It can detect if you are anemic.</p>
<p><strong>Preparing for Your Doctor’s Visit</strong></p>
<p>Before visiting your doctor or gynecologist, it is best to write down all your symptoms and problems even if it is not related to your ailment.</p>
<p>List out all medications and vitamin supplements in specific dosages you are currently taking. Discuss possible treatment options and how much would they cost. Also, discuss with your doctor what could be the side effects of such treatments.</p>
