Effects of radiofrequency ablation on adenomyosis

Objective To study the effects of radiofrequency ablation on adenomyosis. Methods Radiofrequency ablation was used in 20 patients with adenomyosis. Color Doppler imaging was used to examine the uterus and adnexa, foci were punctured and performed pathological examination. In addition, CA125 and sex hormone were all detected before and after the treatment. The clinical signs were investigated simultaneously. Results After 3-month treatment, the length of uterus, the thickness of uterine wall and posterior wall were all significantly different from those before treatment(P0.05);the difference in the length of uterus was more significant after 6-month treatment(P0.01)and in this period, the decrease of the thickness was still significant(P0.05).While before and after treatment, the artery blood flow of uterus and ovary, FSH, LH, E2, T, P showed no significant difference(P0.05).Only PRL was significantly different after 3-month treatment(P0.05), the serum CA125 level decreased after operation. The difference before and after operation was significant(P0.05). Conclusion Radiofrequency ablation on the treatment of adenomyosis is a perspective method.
