Is surgery or minimally invasive better for adenomyosis?

If conditions permit, minimally invasive options may be recommended for adenomyosis, which may be better compared to open surgery. However, the choice of surgical option varies from person to person and needs to be decided under the guidance of the doctor according to the patient’s condition. Minimally invasive treatments for adenomyosis are generally less invasive and less painful. Minimally invasive methods are generally interventional, using embolization to cause ischemia, necrosis, and absorption of the endometriotic lesion. Minimally invasive treatments for adenomyosis are usually performed by vascular puncture and injection of a faceted gel sponge, reducing the risk of bleeding during the procedure and of surgical complications. At the same time, minimally invasive surgery has smaller wounds, postoperative pain is not obvious, and recovery will be faster. Minimally invasive intervention for adenomyosis is not suitable for everyone and has certain complications. Patients with adenomyosis should consult a doctor in a timely manner and choose the appropriate treatment plan according to their own situation under the guidance of the doctor.
