Adenomyosis refers to ectopic endometrial tissue (the inner lining of the uterus) within the myometrium (muscle of uterus). It presents with abdominal cramp, heavy bleeding and blood clots. Dark colored discharge (old blood) in between periods may be seen in this condition.
The following investigations are required to confirm the diagnosis:
1) One pelvic ultrasound scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
2) Endometrial biopsy to rule out precancerous stage.
Exact diagnosis of adenomyosis only possible in post hysterectomy specimen and you need to consult with your gynecologist for proper management.

Flexible sigmoidoscopy allows direct visualization of the colonic mucosa, from the rectum to the proximal sigmoid & descending colon. However, colonoscopy has become a preferred method for colon cancer screening.
Therefore, you need to undergo one Colonoscopy to rule out and confirm spreading of endometrial cancer to the large bowel. Kindly, consult with your doctor regarding this.
