In the meantime, these treatments can ease pain, and help with heavy bleeding and other symptoms: Pain medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve), ease cramping. Hormonal medications: Certain hormonal medications can help with menstruation and abnormal bleeding. Options include birth control pills, Depo-Provera injection and hormonal intrauterine devices (IUD), such as Mirena. Nonhormonal medication: Medications like tranexamic acid can reduce the amount of vaginal bleeding. Adenomyomectomy: This surgery removes adenomyosis from your uterine muscle. The procedure is similar to a myomectomy, which removes uterine fibroids. Hysterectomy: This surgery removes your uterus.

  Adenomyosis is a common, but poorly understood condition that affects women of all age groups. It is defined as the presence of ectopic nests of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium, surrounded by reactive smooth muscle hyperplasia. Adenomyosis is a common cause of dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and chronic pelvic pain but is often underdiagnosed. […] The only definitive treatment for symptoms associated with adenomyosis is hysterectomy; however, this is not an option for patients who desire future fertility and may not be an option for patients who are poor surgical candidates. […] The medications most commonly used to treat symptoms of adenomyosis are anti-inflammatory drugs and hormonal therapies. […] During the initial workup, it is important to counsel patients about the diagnostic process, including tests and imaging to rule out malignancy.

This is in part because of the potential overlap between adenomyosis and endometriosis but is equally applicable for anyone experiencing intractable or difficult symptoms.
