Is Thunder-Fire moxibustion effective in the treatment of adenomyosis combined with infertility?
Journal Title: Traditional Medicine Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Adenomyosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. It can seriously endanger a woman’s quality of life, causing infertility, dysmenorrhea, and chronic pelvic pain. The definitive treatment for adenomyosis is hysterectomy. However, this option does not benefit patients who wish to preserve their fertility [1]. Although medical treatments are effective in improving clinical symptoms, there are limited data to support medical effectiveness in improving the chances of pregnancy.
