bullet::::- levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices or hormonal iuds, such as the mirena, are an effective treatment for adenomyosis. they reduce symptoms by causing decidualization of the endometrium, reducing or eliminating menstrual flow. additionally, by helping downregulate estrogen receptors, hormonal iuds shrink the clusters of endometrial tissue within the myometrium. this leads to reduced menstrual blood flow, helps the uterus contract more properly, and helps to reduce the menstrual pain. the use of hormonal iuds in patients with adenomyosis have been proven to reduce menstrual bleeding, improve anemia and iron levels, reduce pain, and even result in an improvement of adenomyosis with a smaller uterus on medical imaging. at least in the short term, patients who can tolerate hormonal iuds for the treatment of adenomyosis result in equivalent improvement of symptoms and better quality-of-life and social well-being as compared to women who undergo a hysterectomy. hormonal iuds are particularly well suited for individuals needing effective treatment of their adenomyosis while still maintaining future fertility potential. the most common negative side-effect of hormonal iuds is irregular menstrual bleeding or spotting.
