EC Gynaecology

The benign condition known as adenomyosis is brought on by the invasion of the myometrium by endometrial glands and stroma. It is a prevalent gynaecological condition that affects women who are fertile. 15 - 25% of women who are of reproductive age are thought to be affected. It is a crippling condition that affects young women who are nulliparous and multiparous, resulting in a range of symptoms like infertility, dysmenorrhea, and menorrhagia.

The conservative treatment of adenomyosis is becoming more popular these days. It has been treated up to this point with either a hysterectomy or local adenomyoma excision that preserves the uterus. These days, three thermal ablation methods-HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound), RFA (radio frequency ablation), and PMWA (percutaneous microwave ablation)-are suggested for the treatment of adenomyosis. Pregnancy outcomes were not significantly different between non-surgical (HIFU, RFA, PMWA) and surgical excision, according to a small number of studies.
