Hi,
Thanks for posting your query. I have gone through it and understood your concern. I would like to offer some suggestions. Infertility can be caused by adenomyosis, though it is difficult to specify since endometriosis is an associated feature in most cases. The management depends on the extent of infiltration of the uterine musculature, the need for reproduction, associated complications like cysts on the ovary etc. Medical management comprised anti-inflammatory drugs and hormones while uterine artery embolization and endometrial ablation are the available surgical methods. It is true that you may have to wait util your adenomyosis is contained to allow reproduction to proceed properly. Hope this helps.
