How to Prepare for a Gynaecology Appointment: A Checklist
To prepare for a gynaecology appointment, note the first day of your last period, list your symptoms and questions, and bring previous reports, scans and a list of medicines. Avoid sex, vaginal creams and douching for 48 hours before a Pap smear, wear comfortable clothing, and if you need a pelvic scan, ask whether to come with a full bladder.
Adenomyosis Treatment Options: Medical and Surgical Choices
Quick answer: Adenomyosis treatment options include non-hormonal medicines (NSAIDs, tranexamic acid), hormonal treatment (the levonorgestrel IUS, dienogest, the combined pill, GnRH analogues), uterus-sparing procedures (uterine artery embolisation, focused ultrasound, adenomyomectomy) and hysterectomy. The right choice depends on symptom severity, age and whether you still want to become pregnant.
