Hello Dr. Zhang, how is adenomyosis treated? Thank you

Patient's question:

April 22, 2015, menstrual period was too long, heavy bleeding, abdominal pain. Baojing Maternal and Child Health Station

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you described, the general treatments for adenomyosis, whether using pain relievers to alleviate pain or taking hormones to artificially induce a state of amenorrhea or pseudo-pregnancy therapy, are only temporary relief for the condition. Once menstruation resumes, there is a possibility of recurrence and worsening. By surgically removing the adenomyosis lesions that cause dysmenorrhea while preserving the normal parts of the uterus, it generally does not affect menstrual cycles or sexual quality of life, and can completely eliminate dysmenorrhea. Surgical treatment is recommended for consideration.
