5 Adenomyosis Treatment Options
Hormone Drugs
Some hormone medications can help alleviate a few symptoms caused by adenomyosis. Combined intrauterine devices and hormonal birth control pills would be effective in reducing the growth of the uterine tissue located outside the uterus. This eventually relieves the severity of the periods. So, if you do not want to have a baby soon, this can be a good option to consider. Make sure to take the medications as instructed. There might be several side effects of taking hormonal birth control pills, such as swelling, pain, headache, weight gain, vaginal dryness, and sore breast. They would also increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, chest pain, or blood clot. Some other hormonal therapies used for treating adenomyosis include GnRH analogs and aromatase inhibitors. [8]
