Looking for adenomyosis treatment in Dubai? Learn about symptoms, infertility, diagnosis, medication and minimally invasive treatment options with Dr. Smitha Raghavan.
Adenomyosis is a gynaecological condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows within the muscular wall of the uterus. It can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, severe period pain, pelvic discomfort, and fertility challenges.
For women seeking adenomyosis treatment in Dubai, early diagnosis and personalised treatment planning can help manage symptoms and address reproductive concerns. Dr. Smitha Raghavan offers specialist gynaecological care, including minimally invasive surgical options where clinically appropriate.
Common symptoms include:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.
- Severe menstrual cramps.
- Chronic pelvic pain or pressure.
- Pain during intercourse.
- Fatigue due to anaemia.
- Difficulty conceiving in some women.
Some women may have adenomyosis without noticeable symptoms.
Adenomyosis may affect fertility by altering the uterine environment, inflammation, and uterine contractions. It has also been associated with an increased risk of certain pregnancy complications.
However, many women with adenomyosis conceive naturally. Treatment planning should consider age, ovarian reserve, other causes of infertility, and pregnancy goals.
Diagnosis typically involves a gynaecological consultation and pelvic imaging.
- Transvaginal ultrasound helps identify characteristic changes in the uterus.
- MRI may be recommended when further assessment is needed.
- Blood tests may be advised for women experiencing heavy bleeding or suspected anaemia.
Accurate diagnosis helps distinguish adenomyosis from conditions such as fibroids and endometriosis.
Treatment depends on symptom severity, medical history, and whether pregnancy is desired.
- Medical Treatment
Pain-relieving medicines and hormonal therapies may help reduce menstrual pain and heavy bleeding. Hormonal treatments require careful consideration in women planning pregnancy.
- Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopy may be considered for selected women with focal adenomyosis or associated conditions such as endometriosis and fibroids. In carefully selected cases, uterus-preserving surgery may be possible, although it carries risks and may affect future pregnancy.
Hysteroscopy can treat certain abnormalities inside the uterine cavity, such as polyps and some fibroids, but it does not generally remove adenomyosis within the uterine muscle.
- Fertility-Focused Treatment
Women experiencing infertility may benefit from an individualised plan that considers natural conception, fertility treatment, and management of adenomyosis before pregnancy.
- Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy is a definitive treatment for adenomyosis in women who have completed childbearing and have persistent symptoms despite other treatments.
Yes. Medication, hormonal treatment, and selected uterus-preserving procedures may help manage adenomyosis. However, treatment effectiveness and recurrence risks vary. Women who wish to conceive should discuss the potential benefits and risks of each option with a specialist.
Dr. Smitha Raghavan provides gynaecological care, including assessment of menstrual disorders and minimally invasive surgical management of selected gynaecological conditions.
A specialist consultation can help determine the cause of your symptoms and identify suitable treatment options based on your health and fertility goals.
