Accepted Answer

Menopause : Although I am unable to give an absolute answer without the range of the lab involved, these numbers suggest you are not in the menopause and therefore do not require hormone replacement. Furthermore, if you are asymptotic you do not require medication. The true issue is what is bothering you? Hope this helps. DrG

Accepted Answer

: "Adenomyosis" is not a malignancy, but does represent possible invasion of the uterine muscle with endometrial tissue, which can cause cramping  and heavier period bleeding.  Oral bcp's are a good option, and achieving pregnancy after cessation of bcp's can occur.  Get a referral to a maternal-fetal medicine OBGYN physician for guidance.
