Being told your only option is a hysterectomy can feel devastating, especially if you still want to preserve your uterus and fertility.
Adenomyosis affects an estimated 1 in 5 women of reproductive age globally, yet many remain undiagnosed for years. The pain, emotional toll, and impact on fertility can leave women feeling hopeless and exhausted. In India, over 20% of hysterectomies are performed due to adenomyosis-related complications—making it a leading cause of major surgery for women who often want an alternative.
Solution:
The good news? There is a uterus-preserving solution: Laparoscopic Adenomyomectomy. This advanced, minimally invasive procedure removes adenomyotic tissue while preserving the uterus—offering significant pain relief, improved menstrual health, and better chances of conception.
At Vardaan Hospital, Dr. Dimple Doshi performs adenomyomectomy using cutting-edge 3D laparoscopic technology for precision, safety, and faster recovery.
Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy is a uterus-sparing, minimally invasive surgery designed to treat adenomyosis—a condition where the uterine lining grows abnormally into the muscular wall of the uterus. This advanced keyhole procedure offers effective symptom relief while preserving fertility.
Clinical Insight: According to BMC Women’s Health, combining laparoscopic adenomyomectomy with LNG-IUS (hormonal IUD) provides long-term relief from symptoms and supports fertility outcomes.
