Summary

Adenomyosis, a uterine disease, is diagnosed via hysteroscopy. Treatments like endometrial ablation can cause iatrogenic adenomyosis, sometimes requiring further hysteroscopic intervention for effective management.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Surgical Endoscopy

Background:

  • Adenomyosis is a benign uterine condition affecting the myometrium.
  • Hysteroscopy is a primary diagnostic tool for adenomyosis.
  • Histologic analysis from biopsies or resections provides depth information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore hysteroscopic diagnosis and treatment of adenomyosis.
  • To investigate iatrogenic adenomyosis resulting from endometrial procedures.
  • To assess hysteroscopic management options for symptomatic focal adenomyosis.

Main Methods:

  • Hysteroscopic examination for diagnosis.
  • Transcervical punch biopsies and loop resection for histologic assessment.
  • Endometrial coagulation or resection for superficial adenomyosis treatment.
  • Second-look hysteroscopy for iatrogenic adenomyosis.

Main Results:

  • Superficial adenomyosis can be effectively treated with transcervical endometrial coagulation or resection.
  • Incomplete endometrial ablation or resection may lead to iatrogenic adenomyosis.
  • Second-look hysteroscopy is a viable treatment for iatrogenic adenomyosis.
  • Hysteroscopic treatment is feasible for selected cases of symptomatic focal adenomyosis.

Conclusions:

  • Hysteroscopy is crucial for both diagnosing and managing adenomyosis.
  • Transcervical procedures for adenomyosis carry a risk of iatrogenic disease.
  • Further hysteroscopic intervention may be necessary for complex or iatrogenic cases.
