Is interventional embolization effective for adenomyosis?

Interventional embolization is effective for adenomyosis and is suitable for patients with obvious symptoms who are unwilling to undergo surgery. It blocks the blood flow in the uterine artery and reduces the lesion. Interventional embolization blocks the blood flow in the uterine artery and reduces the blood supply to the lesion, thereby relieving symptoms such as pain and excessive menstrual flow. For patients with obvious symptoms, unwilling to undergo surgery, or with high surgical risks, interventional embolization is an effective treatment option. After treatment, most patients' symptoms are significantly improved and their quality of life is improved.

1. Interventional embolization therapy: The embolic agent is injected into the uterine artery through a catheter to block the blood supply to the lesion and reduce the growth and activity of the lesion. This treatment method is less invasive and has a quick recovery, and is suitable for patients who do not want to undergo surgery. After treatment, the symptoms of pain and excessive menstrual flow are usually significantly reduced within a few months.

2. The effect of interventional embolization therapy is related to the size and location of the lesion. For patients with small lesions located in the myometrium, the treatment effect is usually better. For patients with large lesions or special locations, other treatment methods may need to be combined, such as drug therapy or surgical resection.

3. Interventional embolization has fewer complications, but attention should still be paid to risks such as postoperative infection and displacement of embolic agents. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted after surgery to monitor changes in lesions and improvement of symptoms. For patients with persistent or aggravated symptoms, timely medical treatment should be sought and treatment plans should be adjusted.

Interventional embolization therapy for adenomyosis is an effective non-surgical treatment method suitable for patients with obvious symptoms who are unwilling to undergo surgery. It can reduce lesions by blocking blood flow in the uterine artery, relieve pain and symptoms of excessive menstrual flow, and improve quality of life.
