Summary
Brief summary
Adenomyosis refers to a disorder in which glands lining the womb cavity present within the uterine musculature (uterine adenomyomatosis). The ectopic glandular tissue appears to induce thickening of the surrounding musculaure, which results in a diffusely enlarged womb.The medical treatment of adenomyosis is based on the hormonal dependency of the disease and its strongly share similarities with endometriosis,Two novel techniques will improve medical treatment over the next few years and even produce a preventive strategy: the first are new blood vessels inhibitors and the second is the progesterone-releasing intrauterine device
