Adenomyosis Case Studies

  • Case Study 1

    Pre-UAE MRI confirmed adenomyosis, showing multiple bright foci in the wall of the uterus.

    A 45-year-old optometrist suffered from severe menstrual bleeding and period pain. Her pre-UAE MRI confirmed adenomyosis, showing multiple bright foci in the wall of the uterus – signifying migration of endometrial tissue from the lining of the cavity. Her post-UAE MRI showed disappearance of the bright foci. Her periods are now much lighter and her pain has been markedly reduced.

  • Case Study 2

    An MRI six months post-UAE showed normalisation of the junctional zone.

    A 28-year-old mother of three young children suffered severe menstrual bleeding, tiredness, exhaustion, and incapacitating pain for a few days each month. She had tried and failed NSAIDs, and was changing super absorbent pads every two hours whilst on tranexamic acid. Mirena IUD was not tolerated, due to acne and continuous spotting. Throughout this ordeal, her uterus was reported as normal on ultrasound.

    Because of her severe symptoms, a MRI was eventually performed. It showed thickening of the junctional zone, confirming adenomyosis and she was treated with uterine artery embolisation. A MRI six months post-UAE showed normalisation of the junctional zone. She now has very light, regular periods, her pain is almost completely gone, she is energetic and is able to bike ride with her children. She is very happy with the significant improvement of her quality of life.

  • Case Study 3

    Pre-UAE MRI vs post-UAE MRI shows scarring of focal adenomyosis and shrinkage from 272ml to 115ml.

    A 45-year-old insurance broker suffered from severe heavy menstrual bleeding and period pain for many years. Tranexamic acid and progestogen were ineffective for her symptoms. She expelled two Mirena IUDs and failed endometrial ablation. Her MRI showed a large area of adenomyosis in the back wall of her uterus and she decided to undergo uterine artery embolisation. Six months post-UAE, her MRI showed scarring of focal adenomyosis and shrinkage from 272ml to 115ml. Her uterine wall is now normal and viable and her periods are light and no longer painful.

  • Case Study 4

    Two Full term pregnancies after successful UAE for adenomyosis

    37 y/o lady who has not had children suffers from with severe heavy menstrual bleeding and period pain. Mirena has caused continuous bleeding, mood changes, weight gain and acne; Tranexamic acid was not helpful. Her ultrasound was reported as normal. MRI showed diffuse adenomyosis JZ 15mm. She has moderate desire for pregnancy and would prefer to conserve her uterus. She chose UAE to treat her adenomyosis. At 6 months post UAE, JZ has reduced from 15mm to 8 mm. Her heavy menstrual bleeding and period pain have markedly reduced. She had 2 miscarriages and then 2 spontaneous uncomplicated full-term pregnancies at age 40 and 42 , delivering two healthy babies by elective C-section at 39 week.
