Have you girls been checked for adenomyosis?
Especially those who has been thru C section, myomectomy, n d&c?
Adenomyosis is a condition where the barrier between the endometrium n the myometrium is "torn" due to surgery. Therefore the blood menses , instead of coming out downwards , goes into the myometrium, n gets trapped there. So, as time goes by, more n more blood start to get trapped in the myometrium, resulting in an enlarged womb. And when the uterus contracts, some old blood might be expelled out, resulting in spotting or bleeding brown, dark brown,or even black(depending how old the blood is).
I've been experiencing this brown spotting, sometimes could be a little heavy, after say 1 week after menses, n it just prolongs.
My pap smear, CA125 is normal.
I underwent 2 myomectomies, for fibroids.
So, girls, before the spotting starts, do you feel your uterus contracts or feels heavier?
