Danazol, a synthetic steroid with antigonadotrophic properties, has been widely used for the treatment of endometriosis and adenomyosis. However, the local application of danazol to the uterus to treat adenomyosis is controversial. The objective of this study is to develop an effective treatment for adenomyosis using danazol via intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) delivery.
