Adenomyosis: What the Patient Needs

Giulia Alabiso et al. J Minim Invasive Gynecol. 2016 May-Jun.

Abstract

A panel of experts in the field of endometriosis expressed their opinions on management options in a 28-year-old patient, attempting pregnancy for 1 year, with severe cyclic pelvic pain and with clinical examination and imaging techniques suggestive of adenomyosis. Many questions this paradigmatic patient may pose to the clinician are addressed, and all clinical scenarios are discussed. A decision algorithm derived from this discussion is also proposed.

Keywords: Adenomyosis; Diagnosis; Pelvic pain; Pregnancy desire; Treatment.
