Background: Adenomyosis is caused by endometrial glands and stroma invading the myometrium. It is more common in parturients after the age of 30. At present, there are many drugs for the treatment of adenomyosis, and drug treatment is also one of the important treatments for adenomyosis. Objective: To summarize the drugs that can be used for the treatment of adenomyosis, hoping to be helpful to the clinical treatment. Method: Relevant studies were retrieved from the MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, CENTRAL and ClinicalTrials.gov. The retrieval time range was from January 2000 to March 2022. English search terms included "(treatment)","(adenomyosis) OR (endometrioma) OR (adenomyoma)". Result: Drug therapy can relieve the clinical symptoms of patients, inhibit the proliferation of lesions, and cooperate with surgical treatment to improve the curative effect. The efficacy and adverse reactions of the drug are closely related to the duration of use. At present, there is no specific drug for the treatment of adenomyosis, and there is a certain degree of recurrence after drug withdrawal. Some clinical scholars have adopted a combination regimen for the treatment of adenomyosis and achieved certain results. Conclusion: About the drug treatment of adenomyosis, it is necessary to personalize the treatment plan by combining the severity of the patients' clinical symptoms, age, fertility needs, patients' economic conditions, whether they can regulate the use of drugs, and the adverse reactions after the use of drugs.
