Literature Review on the Modern Management of Adenomyosis

This literature review evaluates modern management strategies for adenomyosis in women of reproductive age, covering symptoms such as dysmenorrhoea, menorrhagia, and infertility. It summarizes medical options using hormonal and non-hormonal approaches, interventional techniques including high-intensity focused ultrasound, percutaneous microwave ablation, and radiofrequency ablation, and discusses surgical techniques despite stating that surgical options are not routinely offered. The review notes promising evidence from studies suggesting surgery can improve fertility and reduce menorrhagia and dysmenorrhoea, but it is limited by its narrative review format rather than presenting new original data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is specifically a literature review on adenomyosis management, which is closely related to endometriosis-spectrum pelvic pain and is the target condition of the review.
