Adenomyomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove localized adenomyosis from the uterus while preserving the uterus itself. It is an option for women who experience severe symptoms and want to retain fertility.

What is Adenomyosis?

• A condition where endometrial tissue grows into the uterine muscle wall
• Causes heavy menstrual bleeding, painful periods, and an enlarged uterus
• Often seen in women in their 30s and 40s

Why Is Adenomyomectomy Done?

• To relieve pain and heavy bleeding caused by adenomyosis
• To preserve the uterus for future pregnancy
• When medical treatment has failed

Benefits:

• Uterus-conserving surgery
• Improved menstrual symptoms and pain relief
• Better reproductive outcomes in some cases

Risks & Considerations:

• Risk of recurrence of symptoms
• Surgical complexity due to diffuse uterine involvement
• Uterine rupture in future pregnancy (rare, but possible)

Adenomyomectomy offers a uterus-preserving option for symptomatic adenomyosis, especially in women seeking fertility while aiming for long-term symptom relief.
