Microwave Ablation (MWA) for Adenomyosis

Microwave Ablation (MWA) for Adenomyosis

Microwave Ablation (MWA) is a minimally invasive treatment option for women suffering from adenomyosis, a condition where endometrial tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, causing heavy bleeding, pain, and infertility. MWA uses microwave energy to generate heat and destroy abnormal tissue while preserving the uterus, making it a uterus-sparing alternative to hysterectomy.

When to Opt for Microwave Ablation?

  • For women diagnosed with symptomatic adenomyosis
  • When heavy menstrual bleeding and severe pelvic pain affect quality of life
  • For patients wishing to avoid hysterectomy
  • When medical therapy (hormonal treatment) fails to provide relief
  • If fertility preservation is desired
  • On gynecologist’s recommendation after diagnostic imaging

Precautions During the Procedure

  • Performed under ultrasound or MRI guidance for accuracy
  • Only trained specialists should perform the procedure
  • Preoperative imaging is essential to assess extent of adenomyosis
  • Proper sterile conditions are maintained to prevent infections

Post-Treatment Care

  • Mild cramping or spotting is common for a few days
  • Avoid strenuous activities for 1–2 weeks
  • Follow prescribed pain relief or hormonal medications if needed
  • Report fever, heavy bleeding, or severe pain immediately
  • Regular follow-up with ultrasound or MRI to monitor results

Risks Involved

  • Mild pelvic pain or cramping post-procedure
  • Rare risk of infection or bleeding
  • Incomplete treatment in severe cases of diffuse adenomyosis
  • Recurrence of symptoms in some patients over time

Steps in Microwave Ablation

  • Diagnosis: Imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI confirm adenomyosis.
  • Anesthesia: Procedure is usually done under local or general anesthesia.
  • MWA Application: Microwave probes are inserted under imaging guidance into adenomyotic tissue.
  • Tissue Ablation: Microwave energy generates heat that destroys abnormal tissue.
  • Post-Procedure Care: Patient is monitored for a few hours before discharge.

This uterus-preserving method provides effective symptom relief and improves quality of life for women with adenomyosis.

Advanced Technology

Real-time imaging guidance and advanced microwave energy delivery systems ensure precision, safety, and effectiveness, making MWA a cutting-edge solution for treating adenomyosis with minimal invasiveness.
