Is there any way to treat/reduce adenomyosis?

[Lilly12255]

Hi ladies,

Does anyone know if there is a way to dampen adenomyosis, in a fertility context? I don’t have pain, so I don’t need painkillers but I am wondering if there is any treatment or remedies that can reduce the adenomyosis so it does not interfere with embryo implantation.

Thanks

Hi I will be having Zoladex before any transfers, plus fragmin and prednisolone for adenomyosis management before transfer and maybe a HCG wash. Hope this helps

Thanks for answering. Are you having fresh or frozen embryo transfer?

[Marie2377 in reply to Lilly12255]

Only frozen transfers as fresh not recommended for women with adenomyosis. Lots of studies on this x

[Lilly12255 in reply to Marie2377]

How many weeks of down regulations will you have? And how much prednisolone? I had read about the hcg wash but my doc has not tried this before on FET. Has yours already had success with it?

Hi Marie, I was wondering if you can point me in the direction of these studies? Have mild adeno and my clinic want to for a fresh transfer. Thanks x

What is fragmin?My doc suggested Visanne for two month begore transfer. Have you heard of any success stories from Visanne? I dont think its from GNRH family but a kind of progesterone like medication

I am interested in the answers below as I was told nothing could be done for it.

My RE suggested Visanne for two month before transfer but we are still in the process of ivf doinf embryo banking. I sm actually curios to know if anyone had success reducing Adeno size for the same purpose. Did you get any mecications or results?

I read a research done with patients with Adenomyosis going on GNRH antagonist 4-12 weeks before transfer and it helped implantation n preventing miscarriages. But I am not sure if Visanne is from GNRH family.

I got lupron injections for my first transfer 3 years ago for 3 month but it did not help stopping my period nor transfer was success. But I had other conditions too back then with a very large fibroid together with Adeno which they thought its a fibroid!

This is one research mentioning multiple ways of treating Adeno.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

If I can find the other comparing rate of implantation n live birth between Adenomyosis patients will share it too!
