Clinical evaluation of three methods in the treatment of adenomyosis
This study evaluated hysterectomy, radiofrequency ablation, and GnRH drug treatment for adenomyosis, finding radiofrequency ablation to be a preferred minimally invasive option for women desiring fertility.

This retrospective study evaluated three treatment approaches for adenomyosis among 180 patients diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between 2010 and 2013: hysterectomy (n=75), ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (n=30), and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) conservative drug therapy (n=75). The authors report that hysterectomy was effective but results in loss of reproductive function and potential for premature ovarian failure, while GnRH therapy had limitations including inaccuracy, long treatment course, higher cost, and important side effects. Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation was described as having minimal side effects, shorter hospitalization, lower cost, and preservation of ovarian blood supply and function, particularly aligning with fertility-related goals. A major caveat is that the work is retrospective and includes an unequal group size, which limits the strength of comparative conclusions. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis—specifically clinical evaluation and comparison of hysterectomy, GnRH therapy, and ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation for adenomyosis.
