In general, adenomyosis is treated on a case-by-case basis, depending on a woman's symptoms. Many doctors will prescribe anti-inflammatory medication (like ibuprofen) or recommend hormone therapy, particularly if the patient suffers from very heavy or painful periods.
Women with adenomyosis can also look into getting minimally invasive surgeries such as: uterine artery embolization (a procedure meant to decrease blood flow to the affected area) or an endometrial ablation (a procedure used to erode the lining of the uterus).
