The treatment for adenomyosis depends on the severity of the symptoms and the patient’s desire for future fertility. Treatment options include:
- Pain management: Over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription medications can help manage pain.
- Hormone therapy: Birth control pills or other hormonal medications can help reduce bleeding and pain.
- Endometrial ablation: This procedure destroys the lining of the uterus to reduce bleeding.
- Hysterectomy: In severe cases, a hysterectomy may be necessary to remove the uterus.
