Ok this is crazy, I should know this because I am a nurse (soon to be advanced practice nurse) but It is different when you are the patient. I was just diagnosed with adenomyosis with a diagnostic lap. I am only 26 years old (isn't this a little young for this disorder). I have two children whom were both born premature and very rapidly. (thank god i am a nurse, and worked at the hospital I was going to deliver 30 minutes after going down one floor my first was born) Can this cause pre-term births? I have also felt (heavy breast), no good for me to complete a self breast examination (fibrotic tissue), is there a correlation between adenomyosis and breast ca. or would the high levels of estrogen (since adenomyosis r/t high levels i am assuming my levels may be elevated) just make the breast feel a little sore and heavy.
