Role of medical therapy in the management of uterine adenomyosis
Open accessAbstract
Adenomyosis is a benign uterine condition affecting women at various ages with different symptoms. The management of these patients is still controversial. Few clinical studies focusing on medical or surgical treatment for adenomyosis have been performed. No drug is currently labelled for adenomyosis and there are no specific guidelines to follow for the best management. Anyhow, medical treatments are effective in improving symptoms (pain, abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility). The rationale for using medical treatment is based on the pathogenetic mechanisms of adenomyosis: sex steroid hormones aberrations, impaired apoptosis, and increased inflammation. Several nonhormonal (i.e., nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and hormonal treatments (i.e., progestins, oral contraceptives, gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues) are currently used off-label to control pain symptoms and abnormal uterine bleeding in adenomyosis. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues are indicated before fertility treatments to improve the chances of pregnancy in infertile women with adenomyosis. An antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory effect of progestins, such as dienogest, danazol and norethindrone acetate, suggests their use in medical management of adenomyosis mainly to control pain symptoms. On the other hand, the intrauterine device releasing levonorgestrel resulted is extremely effective in resolving abnormal uterine bleeding and reducing uterine volume in a long-term management plan. Based on new findings on pathogenetic mechanisms, new drugs are under development for the treatment of adenomyosis, such as selective progesterone receptor modulators, aromatase inhibitors, valproic acid, and anti-platelets therapy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
