Suffering from uterine adenomyosis?

Confused about the disease and wants to confirm it?

Your doctor will suspect the disease if you have very painful, heavy and prolonged periods, cramping pain with passage of blood clots, a continuous feeling of bloated abdomen and lower abdominal pain. Confirmation is by Ultrasound test or MRI of Pelvis. Internal Ultrasound (called Transvaginal Ultrasound or TVS) is preferable. It shows enlarged, globular looking uterus with distorted and heterogeneous, coarse myometrial tissue and almost obliterated uterine lining. 1-3 fibroids may also co-exist.

MRI of Pelvis is even better test for confirmation. It shows dark and thick junctional zone (>10-12 mm) with presence of very small bright foci within it on T2W images representing micro hemorrhages. Thick is the junctional zone, more severe is the disease. In advanced cases, entire uterus is replaced by dark tissue.

Treatment: Scared of the treatment what your family doctor or Gynaecologist has told i.e. removal of uterus (hysterectomy) ? No need to panic and no need of hysterectomy. Yes, you have heard it right. Hysterectomy is no longer needed to treat this disease. The latest newage technologically advanced treatment is Uterine Artery Embolization – A non-surgical treatment with only one day hospitalization. This treatment which was till now very popular in western countries is now available in India , in New Delhi.

Suffering from uterine adenomyosis?

The disease is very similar to uterine fibroids, in appearance as well as signs / symptoms, hence many a times wrongly diagnosed as fibroids. Fibroids are discrete, focal and can be counted unless numerous. Adenomyosis is diffuse ill-defined and cannot be clearly demarcated from normal uterine wall tissues. It commonly involves the entire uterus making it large, globular and heavy where normal uterine wall tissues appear distorted.

Why it occurs: In this condition, cells lining the uterine cavity called endometrial tissues seeps into the muscular uterine wall. During menstruation, these cells bleed into the wall, causing severe pain. In due course, due to continuous inflammation / irritation, muscle tissue becomes fibrous and more painful. The uterine cavity gets compressed by swollen muscle tissue and ultimately disappears. During menstruation, bleeding is excessive, and in the form of thick clots, with severe cramping pain.

So what is the treatment?: No need to remove the uterus i.e. (hysterectomy) as commonly advised by your family doctor or Gynecologist. Latest and new age treatment for Uterine Adenomyosis is Uterine Artery Embolization – A non-surgical treatment with only one day hospitalization. The most popular treatment in developed western countries is now available in India in New Delhi.

Suffering from Uterine Adenomyosis

Feeling frustrated from the disease and wants to get rid of it? But even more scared when told by your family doctor or gynaecologist that the only treatment for adenomyosis is removal of uterus i.e. Hysterectomy?

No need to panic and no need of hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is no longer needed to treat this disease. The latest new age technologically advanced treatment is Uterine Artery Embolization – A non-surgical treatment with only one day hospitalization. This treatment which was till now very popular in western countries is now available in India, in New Delhi.

Uterine Artery Embolization:

The Procedure: It is an interventional radiological procedure performed under sedation or mild local anaesthesia, feeling no pain and require hospital stay of only one night. Patient resumes light activity from next day and routine activities within 2-3 days.

It is an extremely effective treatment and treats local or diffuse adenomyosis and any associated fibroids at the same time.

A small nick is made in the skin at groin, a catheter is inserted, angiography done and uterine artery identified. Then embolization particles called PVA particles are injected into the artery which block the tiny vessel supplying the adenomyotic uterus and fibroids. This causes degeneration of diseased tissues and uterus start shrinking in size within a few weeks. Symptoms of bleeding and pain resolve in 95% of patients.

There is no blood loss, no risk of blood transfusion. Emotionally, financially & physically – embolization has an overall advantage over other procedures as uterus is not removed.
