What are the sequelae of adenomyosis embolization?

After adenomyosis embolization, sequelae such as abdominal pain, menstrual abnormalities and ovarian function damage may occur, but most patients can gradually recover, and a few require additional treatment.

Adenomyosis embolization is a minimally invasive treatment that relieves symptoms by blocking the blood supply arteries of the uterine lesions. The sequelae of this surgery are mainly concentrated in three aspects: first, abdominal pain. Most patients may experience lower abdominal distension or pain within 1-2 days after surgery, which is usually related to postoperative inflammation and ischemia; second, menstrual abnormalities. Some patients may experience reduced menstruation or even amenorrhea, especially older women; third, ovarian function damage. Although the probability is low, it may accelerate the decline of ovarian function in women approaching menopause. There may also be a small risk of postoperative infection or fever, and further surgery may be required in rare cases.

In order to reduce the occurrence of sequelae, patients should pay attention to rest after surgery, avoid premature weight bearing and strenuous activities; follow the doctor's advice to regularly review ultrasound to understand the recovery of the uterus. Enhance the body's immunity through dietary adjustments and proper exercise, such as consuming more fruits and dark green vegetables rich in dietary fiber, while controlling the intake of iodized salt and high-fat foods, which will help restore the body's hormone balance. If there is persistent severe pain after surgery, severe menstrual disorders or other abnormalities, you should seek medical attention in time to check for related problems.
