NOT NORMAL: 3 weeks after an ablation u should not behavng any pain or swelling u may need to have a laparoscopy please discuss with your gyn ad when u have adenomyosis , more chance to not get a successful result from the ablation, only definitive txment for adenomyosis is hysterectomy if u continue to have problems.

Post operative care: A uterine ablation is a safe procedure with excellant benefits. However as with all surgeries recovery can be challenging. Constipation is one the main problems during recovery, and can cause vague but serious problems for a patient. If all your studies are normal, talk to your surgery team about laxatives, and get your bowels moving. Be well.

Many ideas: Your adenomyosis can definitely cause pain and swelling if uterus enlarged, and ablation doesn't cure adenomyosis. Sadly, only hysterectomy. If your ct was normal, then i'm assuming not a complication from ablation. Complications from ablation are rare, but you wouldn't want to miss one. I would put best guess on the adenomyosis. Talk with dr. Though and make sure he/she knows your symptoms.

Maybe : As long as your bowel movements are normal an the pain can be treated by low dose of otc medication. If fever, nausea , vomiting or increased pain, call your doctor.
