What is Adenomyosis?
Understanding the Condition
Adenomyosis is a condition in which the inner lining of the uterus (the endometrium) grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. This can cause the uterus to become enlarged and lead to symptoms that interfere with daily life.
Common Symptoms & Treatment Options
Common symptoms of Adenomyosis include heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, severe menstrual cramps, pelvic pain, bloating, and pain during intercourse.
Treatment for adenomyosis depends on symptom severity and your personal goals. Options may include hormonal medications to help manage symptoms, or in more severe cases, hysterectomy.
For patients seeking a less invasive approach, Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) may also be an effective option. This image-guided procedure works by reducing blood flow to the affected uterine tissue, which can help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life without surgery.
Today, there is a better way.
A Better Way: UFE
Compared to traditional surgery, UFE (also called Uterine Arterial Embolization, or UAE) typically involves less risk, no large incisions, shorter recovery time, and allows patients to preserve their uterus, making it an appealing choice for many women seeking effective, less invasive treatment.
