Adenomyosis and Heavy Bleeding: How to Find Relief

Heavy menstrual bleeding is one of the most disruptive symptoms of adenomyosis. The good news is that several approaches can reduce it.

Why bleeding is so heavy

When lining tissue grows into the muscle, the uterus enlarges and cannot contract effectively during menstruation, leading to prolonged, heavy flow that can cause anemia.

Ways to reduce bleeding

• Hormonal therapies, including the levonorgestrel IUD
• Non-hormonal medication taken on heavy days
• Uterus-preserving procedures that target the affected tissue

A uterus-preserving option

HIFU can treat focal adenomyosis without surgery, helping to ease both bleeding and pain while keeping the uterus. A specialist can advise whether your case is suitable.
