Adenomyosis
Endometriosis is when the uterine lining or similar tissue grows outside the uterine cavity (uterine muscle, ovaries, fallopian tubes, peritoneum, ligaments around the uterus, bladder, vaginal wall, etc.)
and when it grows inside the uterine muscle, it is called adenomyosis.
It is reported to be most common in women in their 40s and 50s.
and severe pain, so it needs to be treated.
Adenomyosis is when tissue from the uterine lining grows into the uterine wall. It is considered a type of endometriosis
and also causes severe period pain, infertility, heavy periods, irregular bleeding
and pelvic pain.
Adenomyosis prevalence (Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service): up about 20% in the last 5 years
increasing in young unmarried women in their 20s?
Statistics show that more young women in their 20s and 30s have uterine conditions such as fibroids, adenomyosis
and endometriosis.
Rates are rising fast in women in their 20s and 30s.
Many are not aware of uterine disease and skip regular check-ups,
and they dismiss severe period pain or back pain as ordinary PMS,
missing the right time for treatment.
There are two theories: that tissue from the uterine lining grows into the uterine muscle,
or that the uterine muscle tissue changes and becomes similar to lining tissue.
-
Cause 1
Persistently high levels of the female hormone
Estrogen is involved in the growth of adenomyosis
and can lead to it. -
Cause 2
Changes in the uterine muscle tissue
can make it similar to lining tissue,
leading to adenomyosis. -
Cause 3
Other factors,
such as genetics, hormone imbalance
and stress
Unlike fibroids, adenomyosis is mixed in with normal tissue
and has no clear border, which makes it hard to treat.
depends on advanced HIFU skilland precise analysis.
Unlike fibroids, adenomyosis does not form distinct nodules, so it has no clear border.
It is usually about as small as a fibroid, and often occurs together with fibroids.

The organs in the body sit close together, so after HIFU for adenomyosis the doctor must make sure the lesion was well treated with ultrasound heat
from the inside to just inside its outer edge, and that the heat did not affect nearby organs or nerves.
This requires a specialist with advanced HIFU skill.
can make future pregnancy and childbirth impossible.
If an unmarried woman's gynecologic ultrasound shows fibroids or another uterine condition,
she should decide on treatment with a specialist. Treating it with surgery such as removal of the fibroid or the uterus can make future pregnancy and childbirth impossible.
Surgery that removes the whole uterus
because the fibroid is large
Surgery that removes the fibroid with instruments
through small cuts
instead of a large abdominal incision
A treatment that uses the heat
created when high-intensity ultrasound energy
is focused on one point
to destroy the tissue
The Roen AI-assisted HIFU program preserves the uterus, is safer than surgery, keeps pregnancy and childbirth possible, and involves no incision or bleeding
Artificial Intelligence HIFU System
High-resolution MRI images and real-time ultrasound images
are combined into a 3D view that tracks
the uterus and tumor as they move with the patient's breathing and body movement,
so that high-intensity focused ultrasound energy treats them safely.
Artificial Intelligence Check up System
For accurate diagnosis of tumors in the uterus,
To follow every possible change during recovery after HIFU,
we run a specialized uterine check-up program
for ongoing follow-up.

Key points
Preserves the uterus, safer than surgery, keeps pregnancy and childbirth possible, with no incision or bleeding:
the Roen AI-assisted HIFU program
and choosing the right treatment for each person is important
Adenomyosis can be classified into 4 types (sclerotic, nodular, cystic and diffuse),
and we tailor the treatment to each type.
Adenomyosis varies in size and type from person to person, so before HIFU
it needs an accurate treatment plan and precise technique that does not affect surrounding tissue.
-
Precise high-intensity ultrasound targeting, down to the cell level
Preserving the uterine lining and surrounding tissue, focused ultrasound
precisely treats ∙ destroys the lesion down to the cell level. -
Only the adenomyosis tissue is gradually destroyed, with no damage to normal tissue
Without incision or bleeding, only the fibroid or adenomyosis tissue is precisely targeted and destroyed
for a more complete treatment.
Real Story I first introduced HIFU for uterine fibroids ∙ adenomyosis
to achieve successful treatment.

She was diagnosed with adenomyosis because of severe period pain and anal pain, and was admitted for HIFU.
MRI before HIFU showed the uterus enlarged to 6.5 cm, with adenomyosis changes mainly in the back wall.
The MRI images below compare before and after HIFU. Over 90% was treated, and the treated area appears gray and black.
A good outcome is expected, and the remaining lesion at the edge is being monitored with hormone treatment.
Personalized aftercare plan = MRI-integrated HIFU at its core
Aegis Roen OB-GYN plans care around each patient's life stage after treatment. So that patients
and their families can feel at ease, we run a structured aftercare program, including an aftercare plan, regular check-ups and follow-up
monitoring.
-
Assessment and treatment
Before treatment, we check whether a lesion could become malignant
and look for hidden malignant lesions. -
Treatment review and aftercare plan
After treatment, we explain the results, review them objectively
and make an aftercare plan. -
Regular check-up monitoring
We combine ultrasound and MRI images
to monitor your progress after treatment. -
Follow-up care
Based on the aftercare plan, we check at set intervals (from 1 week to 1 year after treatment)
how much the treated lesion has been absorbed and whether there is a risk of recurrence.
1:1 personalized consultation and treatment plan
Knowing the patient's condition and the treatment plan before HIFU
eases worry and helps patients and families feel calm, which improves the treatment result.
Furthermore, subjective satisfaction levels may vary among individuals. Therefore, please consult with a specialist.
