Prevention is unknown. An intrauterine wall sample may be necessary for pathological evaluation. An abdominal MRI could be useful, but the cost precludes its routine use. A hysterectomy may be necessary in women with severe symptoms who are not approaching menopause soon. Most treatment attempts with hormonal supplements have been unsuccessful.
Symptoms usually resolve after menstruation ceases.
A hysterectomy completely resolves symptoms. Call for an appointment with your health care provider if symptoms suggestive of adenomyosis occur.
