Treatment strategies for pelvic pain associated with adenomyosis

Abstract: Objective: To observe the effects of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in treatment of chronic pelvic pain associated with adenomyosis (AM) and in prevention of its recurrence. Methods: A prospective continuing study including 180 patients with chronic pelvic pain associated with AM who received insertion of LNG-IUS who were divided into three groups depending on the pain severity. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used for pain assessment before and during the treatment and transvaginal u… Show more

“…A comparative analysis of the number of macrophages in the myometrium in patients of the main group and the control group showed increased recruitment of these cells in adenomiosis complicated by the development of syndrome of pelvic pain. Moreover, CD68-positive cells were associated not only with areas of ectopic endometrial growth, but also the perivascular region and is the carrier of the nerves and center of the remodeling processes in the uterine wall in this pathology, as we have shown in previous studies [11,12].…”

“…Furthermore, in our models, pre-operative dysmenorrhea is associated with higher risk of failure and surgical re-intervention. Adenomyosis has been suggested to be a factor influencing the increased occurrence of (post-ablation) pelvic pain [35][36][37][38]. Pain is a subjective outcome measure.…”

“…On the one hand, the level of pain can be explained by the coping mechanism of the patient; on the other hand, if a patient experiences many pre-operative complaints, the cause can be multifactorial (e.g. coping, dysmenorrhea, adenomyosis, endometriosis [37][38][39][40][41]. Performing ablation in patients with a certain extent of uterine pathology (fibroids, adenomyosis) can be seen as a risk for success of therapy [2,34,41,42].…”

“…Unlike the Maguire study, participants in present study predominantly chose hormonal IUDs which is known to be a treatment for cyclic pelvic pain associated with dysmenorrhea, endometriosis and adenomyosis. 8,9,10 The popularity of hormonal IUDs in present study may have contributed to the higher rate of IUD retention among participants with a history of pelvic pain, although not statistically significant. Additionally, unlike Maguire et al, present study did not differentiate dysmenorrhea from chronic and non-cyclic forms of pelvic pain.…”
