Adenomyosis Treatment: Ultra-minimally invasive procedure – Antai Hospital

Adenomyosis is a common subset of Endometriosis, where displaced endometrial tissues begin to grow deep within the uterine muscle wall (myometrium). Althought benign, it causes severe menses pain among other complications including increased menses volume leading to anemia, and disrupts fertility causing miscarriage and even infertility. Fertility disruption is basically caused by abnormal uterotubal transport and alteration of endometrial function / receptivity.

During each period , each of the displaced lesions will also shed and bleed, just like the endometrial lining, leading to blood accumulation within the myometrium and into the pelvic cavity, leading to excruciating, knifelike period pains. Overall, it causes severe disruption to quality of life and is often recommended for drastic and unnecessary treatments in most hospitals: Hysterectomy (Removal of Uterus).

Symptoms:

• Progressively Increasing Menses Pains (Gets worse over time)
• Enlarged Uterus
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Anaemia caused by heavy and prolonged menses volumes
• Pelvic Pain
• Infertility
• Recurrent Miscarriage
• Tenderness or pressure in the lower abdomen detected

Causes

• Contrary to popular belief, it was once thought that these abnormal endometrial cells were migrating to atypical locations within the reproductive system. However, we have reason to believe these cells never migrate, but actually originate in these locations via stem cells.

• There are also theories suggesting that the endometrial cells were already present in the uterine muscle walls during birth, suggesting it was a form of abnormality during the formation of the uterus.

Risk factors

Risk factors for adenomyosis include:

• Prior uterine surgery, such as C-section, fibroid removal, or dilatation and curettage (D&C)
• Childbirth
• Middle age

Treatment at Antai Hospital

Hysterectomy  is   used worldwide to   treat adenomyosis in   pre-menopausal and perimenopausal women with severe clinical symptoms,  however, this    major surgery can    cause complications, reduce quality of life and incur high economic costs. Adenomyosis is   more prevalent among women of childbearing potential than previously thought, and alternative treatment options are required to preserve reproductive function. However, at Antai Hospital, we never recommend Hysterectomy, regardless of partial or full, for Adenomyosis patient, because we can effectively treat the condition, overcome the symptoms, while retaining all organs and function.

With this novel technique at Antai Hospital Gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists can be used in nonsurgical therapy for all forms of  endometriosis, as both main and adjuvant therapy. This treatment reduces both the intensity of  endometriosis symptoms and uterine volume.Triptorelin acetate, prolonged‐release GnRH agonist approved for  endometriosis treatment that has been shown to decrease endometriosis symptom severity and improve reproductive function.

For Adenomyosis, the medication is injected directly into each adenomyoma located in the uterus, and the condition can quickly be managed with symptoms alleviated. This is done with accordance with Antai’s Surgical 414 Treatment System with a full refund guaranteed.. For more information, get in touch with our consultants today!
