This review discusses current and future management strategies for adenomyosis, a benign condition requiring lifelong care, focusing on medical and minimally invasive surgical treatments.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

: This aim of the study was to gather information for use in the present and future management of the adenomyosis condition. Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological condition that needs to be managed for the rest of one's life with either medication or surgical treatment. It is also associated with abnormal uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. The choice a woman makes will be influenced by her age, reproductive status, and clinical indicators. The primary goals of this study were to gain knowledge on adenomyosis and to review potential treatment possibilities. According to this review, adenomyosis can be treated in a number of ways, including through medical attention utilizing least-invasive techniques a surgical operation that is performed with minimally invasive techniques. Focused ultrasound with high intensity (HIFU) for hysteroscopic ablation and resection Embolishing the uterine artery (UAE). Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological illness that necessitates a lifelong care strategy by medication or surgical therapy and is accompanied by abnormal uterine hemorrhage, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. The option a woman chooses will depend on her age, reproductive status, and clinical signs. Since there is currently no medication approved for the treatment of adenomyosis, the present review will focus on existing and future medical procedures for the condition. The uterus is impacted by the medical condition adenomyosis. It happens when the endometrial tissue that normally lines the uterus invades the myometrium, the uterine muscle wall. Although this illness is benign, some people may experience substantial pain and discomfort as a result of it. It is more typically detected in those who have had children and is most frequently diagnosed in people between the ages of 30 and 50. Treatment options depend on the severity of symptoms and the individual's specific situation. Treatment approaches may include Pain Management, Hormonal Therapy, Surgical Interventions, Surgical Interventions and Lifestyle Changes. Several uterine-sparing therapeutic alternatives are currently available, each with unique risks and benefits, such as medication, hysteroscopic resection or ablation, conservative surgical methods, and high-intensity focused ultrasound. Uterine artery embolization, a practical, secure, and cost-effective method for treating uterine fibroids, has recently grown in popularity as a treatment for uterine adenomyosis.
