Adenomyosis, especially uterine adenomyosis, requires individualized treatment plans based on the patient's specific condition:
1. General treatment: For patients with mild symptoms, symptom relief can be achieved through methods such as heat application and physical therapy, along with attention to diet and rest.
2. Medication: Commonly used drugs include dydrogesterone tablets, gestrinone tablets, etc., which can improve symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstruation, and dysmenorrhea.
3. Surgical treatment: If drug therapy proves ineffective, surgical options such as lesion excision or total hysterectomy may be considered.
4. Other treatments: Such as levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices and ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation can also alleviate symptoms to some extent.
In addition, conservative treatments such as acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine regulation may also help relieve symptoms of adenomyosis to a certain degree. All treatment methods should be conducted under a doctor's guidance to ensure safety and effectiveness.
