Abstract: Adenomyosis, one of the chronic gynecological diseases manifested by dysmenorrhea, heavy menstrual bleeding or infertility, negatively impacts the health of women of childbearing age. Patient education and proper management are important components of quality patient care. Advancement in digital medicine brings innovation in patient education materials and modalities. This review aims to strengthen ‘patient-centered’ value and increase patients knowledge on adenomyosis as well as compliance on management. Specific advice is provided to improve patients self-evaluation on the menstrual health and fertility, supplemented by well-designed clinical trials. In addition, the supporting roles of medical practitioners, partners, patients and society need to be pulled together to promote better outcome in long-term management of adenomyosis.

Key words: Adenomyosis, Patient education, Menstrual health management, Fertility preserving management, Four facets of support
