Abstract To investigate the efficacy of triptorelin combined with high intensity focused ultrasound for treating women with adenomyosis. Methods: 68 patients with adenomyosis were divided into study group and control group. The women in control group were treated by high intensity focused ultrasound, and the women in study group were treated by high intensity focused ultrasound combined with triptorelin before operation. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to detect the volumes of uterus and uterine lesion of before and after treatment. The volumes of menstruation of all included women were recorded, and the dysmenorrhea degree was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). The quality of life of women in the two groups was assessed by adenomyosis symptoms and health related quality of life questionnaire (UFS-QOL). The rates of recurrence and pregnancy of women in the two groups were observed. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate of women in study group was significant higher than that of women in control group, and the volumes of uterus and uterine lesion were significant smaller than those of women in control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of dysmenorrhea, menstrual volume, and UFS-QOL of women in the two groups decreased significantly (P<0.05), and those of women in study group were significant lower than those of women in control group (P<0.05). The recurrence rate of women in study group was also significant lower (P<0.05). Conclusion: Triptorelin combined with high intensity focused ultrasound is effective for treating women with adenomyosis, which can relieve dysmenorrhea, reduce menstruation volume, and improve the quality of life.
