Adenomiose: uma revisão sistemática do tratamento médico
This systematic review found that while hysterectomy is the definitive treatment for adenomyosis, medical options like oral contraceptives, progestogens, GnRH analogs, and levonorgestrel IUDs can alleviate symptoms for patients desiring fertility preservation or facing surgical risks.

This systematic literature review examined medical treatments for symptomatic adenomiosis, using searches in BVS and SciELO and synthesizing evidence on the major therapeutic options. It reports that definitive treatment is surgical correction by hysterectomy, but notes that fertility desire or surgical risk can lead clinicians to consider symptom-relieving medical approaches, including combined oral contraceptives, progestogens, GnRH analogs, and the levonorgestrel intrauterine system. A stated caveat is that even though clinical cure is described as existing, treatment selection depends on individual desires and personal conditions, implying heterogeneity in applicability. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — it reviews medical treatment options for adenomiose and compares them with hysterectomy.
