Adenomyosis is a condition where the tissue lining the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. This can cause pain, heavy periods, and discomfort and significantly affect the quality of life of affected women.
Adenomyosis is common, especially among women in their 30s and 40s who have had children. While exact numbers vary, it’s estimated that around 20-30% of women of reproductive age may have this condition.
The history of adenomyosis dates back to the early 19th century when it was first described by Carl von Rokitansky, a famous pathologist. Since then, medical understanding of the condition has evolved, leading to better diagnosis and treatment methods.

Traditionally, the diagnosis of adenomyosis was often made form pathologic analysis of uterus from hysterectomy. Often patients were misdiagnosed with fibroids and their hysterectomy specimens showed adenomyosis as the real culprit. Today, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the best test (gold standard) for diagnosing adenomyosis.
Medical Treatment:
Surgical Treatment:
Uterine Artery Embolization:
Adenomyosis is a common condition that can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life. It is important to seek treatment and uterine artery embolization is a safe and effective non-surgical treatment option.
Dr Mohan has a great bedside manner and quiet confidence about him that puts you at ease. I first met him when he performed microwave ablation on my husband’s liver as part of his cancer treatment. One year later Dr Mohan did ablation laser therapy on my varicose veins.
Dr. Mohan makes the most complicated and complex surgeries easy and fun for the patient. He is very caring and has impeccable “Bedside Manners” which is most comforting for an afraid patient. Can’t wait to visit him again. Thanks.
Dr. Mohamed Saved my life! The care leading up till I got accepted for my liver transplant was nothing but the best and most professional and at times difficult. Being the cancer had to be controlled and not spread through out it was just that… he controlled it, got rid of it, explained every procedure thoroughly.
