Vaginal Bromocriptine for the Treatment of Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis is a rare non-malignant disease of the uterus that causes significant symptoms
including heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain. The only widely accepted treatment for
adenomyosis is hysterectomy. The investigators will use a dopamine agonist, bromocriptine, as
a therapy based on animal models of the disease and our prior clinical research to observe
any objective improvement in the extent of the disease using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI)and standard measurements for other gynecologic diseases to measure symptomatology.

Women with adenomyosis proven with MRI will be considered for the intervention with
bromocriptine. They will be reassessed at 1, 6 and 9 months. Patients will get a stipend for
each visit they complete. The study will end for the enrolled subject at 9th month follow-up
