What is Adenomyosis?

Adenomyosis occurs when the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) invades the myometrium (muscular layer). This can cause the uterus to become enlarged, tender, and inflamed—often resulting in distressing menstrual symptoms.

Common symptoms include:

  • Severe menstrual cramps
  • Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Pain during intercourse
  • Bloating or pressure in the lower abdomen

على الرغم من أن الانتباذ البطاني الرحمي يتشابه مع الانتباذ البطاني الرحمي، إلا أن الأنسجة في الانتباذ البطاني الرحمي تنمو داخل عضلة الرحم، وليس خارج الرحم.


How is Adenomyosis Diagnosed in Korea?

Diagnosis can be challenging, especially because symptoms overlap with other gynecological conditions. However, Korean clinics are equipped with advanced imaging technology and skilled specialists for accurate diagnosis.

Common diagnostic methods include:

  • Pelvic examination: May reveal an enlarged, tender uterus
  • Transvaginal ultrasound: Often the first imaging test performed
  • فحص التصوير بالرنين المغناطيسي: يوفر رؤية أكثر تفصيلاً لجدار الرحم وهو دقيق للغاية في حالة الانتباذ البطاني الرحمي
  • Histological confirmation (rare): Usually done only after surgery like hysterectomy

Many Gangnam-area clinics offer consultations in English and comprehensive diagnostic packages tailored for both locals and international patients.


Treatment Options for Adenomyosis in Korea

Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms, patient age, and reproductive goals. Clinics in Korea provide both conservative and surgical options:

Medication-Based Treatments

  • Hormonal therapy: Birth control pills, progesterone IUDs (e.g., Mirena), GnRH agonists to reduce menstrual flow and pain
  • NSAIDs: Pain relievers like ibuprofen for cramp relief
  • Tranexamic acid: To reduce heavy menstrual bleeding

Minimally Invasive Procedures

  • انسداد الشريان الرحمي (UAE): يمنع تدفق الدم إلى منطقة الرحم المصابة، مما يؤدي إلى انكماش الانتباذ البطاني الرحمي
  • High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU): A non-invasive technique that destroys adenomyosis tissue using targeted ultrasound

Surgical Options

  • Adenomyomectomy: Removal of the affected part of the uterus (fertility-sparing)
  • Hysterectomy: Complete removal of the uterus (used when other treatments fail or in severe cases)

Korean hospitals are globally recognized for their minimally invasive surgical techniques, fast recovery times, and high success rates.

أهم الأسئلة الشائعة حول الانتباذ البطاني الرحمي

  • Is adenomyosis the same as endometriosis?
    No. Both involve abnormal endometrial tissue growth, but adenomyosis affects the uterine muscle, while endometriosis involves tissue growing outside the uterus.

  • Will I need a hysterectomy?
    Not necessarily. Many patients manage symptoms successfully with medication or minimally invasive procedures. Hysterectomy is typically a last resort.

    Symptoms often improve after menopause. Treatment focuses on symptom management and preserving fertility when desired.
