High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation (HIFU)
For adenomyosis clearly defined by imaging, with significant symptoms and limited medication control, and for those who wish to preserve the uterus, the team can assess whether to consider high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). Applicability depends on factors such as lesion type and location, vo

How High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation (HIFU) is performed
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) focuses sound energy on adenomyotic lesions under ultrasound or magnetic resonance guidance, causing controlled thermal coagulation. It usually involves completing imaging localization and planning first, then delivering energy in multiple fractions after sedation and analgesia, and monitoring the landing point and surrounding temperature with real-time imaging, adjusting parameters as necessary to protect adjacent structures. Postoperative observation includes pain and body temperature, with subsequent imaging to evaluate lesion changes. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
