Uterine Artery Embolization for Adenomyosis
Overview
Adenomyosis is a condition wherein the uterine lining spreads unusually deep into the uterus. Adenomyosis is characterized by severe and continuous bleeding and severe pelvic cramps. Severe adenomyosis discomfort has a negative impact on one’s quality of life and sexual function. Adenomyosis treatment in Dubai by Dr. Sandeep, adenomyosis specialist in Dubai aims to alleviate these symptoms and improve overall well-being.
Traditionally, the only definite treatment for women with adenomyosis is uterine removal (hysterectomy). Other treatments, such as uterine ablation, only work temporarily, and many people experience recurrence and may need a hysterectomy within three years. Adenomyosis medical care is still being researched, and there is presently no drug specifically labeled for its therapy.
Uterine Artery Embolization for Adenomyosis:
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is the most successful, uterus-sparing, non-surgical treatment treatment option for adenomyosis. Adenomyosis treatment in Dubai often involves Uterine artery embolization (UAE), particularly for patients who have failed hormonal therapy and wish to preserve their uterus.
Uterine Artery Embolisation treatment in Dubai for adenomyosis utilizes the same technique as we used to treat fibroids (Uterine fibroid embolization, UFE).
A recent study found that adenomyosis treatment in Dubai using uterine artery embolization was successful in roughly 82% of patients. These patients reported considerable improvements in the severity of their symptoms, an improved quality of life, and the avoidance of a hysterectomy.
Adenomyosis treatment in Dubai - How does it work?
- Typically, mild sedation and a local anesthetic are used during uterine artery embolization.
- A small catheter will be inserted by an interventional radiologist through the groin or wrist and guided by an X-ray into the uterine artery. Microcatheter at horizontal segment of each uterine artery, distal to origin of cervico-vaginal artery, that supplies cervix and vagina.
- The adenomyotic tissue is then supplied by arteries that are injected with tiny particles or gelatin microspheres that occlude the abnormal vascularity of adenomyosis tissue, which eventually cause the tissue to shrink.
- The entire process takes roughly 30 minutes (less than an hour).
- No scars or incisions are created on the abdomen, and no stitches are required.
- You will have to spend the night in the hospital following the surgery. You can return home if your discomfort is under control and you can eat and drink normally in the morning.

- Follow aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.
