HIFU Treatment for Adenomyosis | Aegis Roen HIFU Center
A Condition Young Women Should Treat Early
Adenomyosis
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.), it is called endometriosis, 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.
As symptoms worsen it can cause infertility
and severe pain, so it
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.
It also causes severe period pain, infertility, heavy periods, irregular bleeding and pelvic pain.

Uterine fibroids and adenomyosis
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, skip regular check-ups, and dismiss severe period pain or back pain as ordinary PMS, missing the right time for treatment.

Risks and challenges of adenomyosis Unlike fibroids, adenomyosis is mixed in with normal tissue and has no clear border, which makes it hard to treat.
Treating adenomyosis,
whose lesions have no clear border, 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.

  • Diffuse type Diffuse type DIFFUSE TYPE ADENOMYOSIS
  • Nodular type Nodular type NODULAR TYPE ADENOMYOSIS
  • Sclerotic type Sclerotic type SCLEROTIC TYPE ADENOMYOSIS
  • Cystic type Cystic type CYSTIC TYPE ADENOMYOSIS

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.

For unmarried women, surgery for adenomyosis
Future pregnancy and childbirth
may become 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.
Hysterectomy

Surgery that removes the whole uterus because the fibroid is large

Non-surgical medication, Mirena

Surgery that removes the lesion with instruments through small cuts instead of a large abdominal incision

Non-invasive HIFU

A treatment that uses the heat created when high-intensity ultrasound energy is focused on one point to destroy the tissue

Non-surgical, uterus-preserving
Early adenomyosis treatment system

The Roen AI-assisted HIFU program preserves the uterus, is safer than surgery, keeps pregnancy and childbirth possible, and involves no incision or bleeding

Specialized uterine disease treatment system
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.

Specialized check-up system for uterine disease
Artificial Intelligence Check up System

For accurate diagnosis of tumors in the uterus, and to follow every possible change during recovery after HIFU, we run a specialized uterine check-up program for ongoing follow-up.

Non-surgical treatment system for fibroids ∙ adenomyosis

MRI is used to analyze the fibroid (location, number, size, shape, etc.), its blood supply, nearby organs and structures, and a clear path for the ultrasound. Detailed ultrasound then analyzes the number of fibroids to treat, the number of treatment slices, the volume of each slice, the treatment margin and the relationship between the fibroid and nearby organs.

Safety and effectiveness An integrated MRI HIFU program that uses advanced ultrasound equipment and MRI-guided · high-intensity focused ultrasound, with ultrasound and MRI before and after treatment for every patient, to make HIFU safer and more effective.

Based on the MRI before treatment, we precisely identify the location, size and shape
of tumors such as fibroids or adenomyosis

and plan the treatment, including the ultrasound energy level
and entry path

Following the treatment plan, HIFU is guided by fused ultrasound/MRI
images and real-time ultrasound

Before HIFU, the specialist explains the patient's condition and the treatment plan, which eases worry and helps patients and families feel calm, improving the treatment result.

Precisely classifying the type of adenomyosis 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.

A safe, simple treatment preferred by women of childbearing age: it destroys only the adenomyosis tissue and keeps the uterus whole

  • 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 and 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 the day after treatment, then monthly, quarterly, every six months and yearly) how much the treated lesion has shrunk and whether there is a risk of recurrence.

  • Check-up scheduling

    From before HIFU until your regular check-ups after discharge, we take care of every detail.

  • Dedicated 1:1 service

    A dedicated coordinator at the clinic looks after
    your follow-up visits and recovery.
