Adenomyosis is a lesion of the myometrium caused by ectopic endometrium to the myometrium. Adenomyosis, also called endometriosis, is clinically characterized by dysmenorrhea with progressive aggravation. Most patients with adenomyosis have a combination of prolonged menstrual periods and increased menstrual blood flow. For the treatment of adenomyosis, surgery can be performed if there is no requirement for fertility. If you have fertility requirements, you can take oral contraceptives to relieve the symptoms or you can get a Manned IUD to relieve the symptoms. Adenomyosis can also be treated symptomatically with pain medication if there is significant dysmenorrhea. If adenomyosis is combined with heavy menstrual bleeding, hormones can be used to relieve symptoms and iron supplements can be used to treat blood loss anemia.
