Patient's question:
Female, 40 years old, frequently experiences abdominal pain during menstruation. Previously, she was hospitalized due to a chocolate tumor. She has been experiencing abdominal pain since her first menstrual period. This month, she had two menstrual periods and underwent an ultrasound. The doctor recommended removing the uterus. She wants to know if it is possible to preserve the uterus and still treat the condition effectively.Doctor's answer:
For adenomyosis, there are currently conservative treatments, medication adjustments, Mirena IUDs, etc. Different treatment plans are adopted based on individual circumstances. The Mirena IUD is a medication-releasing ring that can alleviate symptoms and control the progression of the condition. It is currently an effective treatment for adenomyosis, endometriosis, and other related conditions. Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration can also be used as a treatment method.
