Adenomyosis Treatment in Flower Mound, TX

Adenomyosis is a unique condition of the uterus that causes a woman’s endometrial tissue to grow into the muscles of her uterus. This condition often leads to an enlarged uterus, as well as especially painful menstrual cycles and/or pain during sex.

There is no known cause for adenomyosis, though many medical professionals believe that the condition may be related to a variety of other health conditions, such as:

  • Inflammation of the uterus
  • A congenital excess of uterine tissue
  • Localized adenomyoma
  • Abnormal female hormone levels

How Will I Know If I Have Adenomyosis?

Symptoms of adenomyosis do not always present themselves in patients with the condition. However, the majority of women with adenomyosis will notice several signs, including:

  • Large blood clots during their period
  • Spotting between menstrual cycles
  • Pain during sex
  • Sensitivity in the abdominal area
  • Prolonged menstrual cycles
  • Long lasting menstrual cramps
  • Heavy bleeding during their period

Why You Should Contact North Texas Fibroids Today

It’s important to seek the advice of a specialist if you notice any unusual symptoms during your regular menstrual cycle. Even if your symptoms do not relate to adenomyosis, they are likely to be the result of another common uterine condition like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or uterine polyps.

Once a definitive diagnosis has been made, Dr. Handley will be able to begin offering individualized insights into your case of adenomyosis and which treatment methods he feels would work best for you based on your most concerning symptoms. One common solution that our practice offers to women suffering with adenomyosis is a minimally invasive procedure called uterine artery embolization (UAE). This treatment is also frequently referred to as uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) and can help to decrease the blood supplied to the uterus that fuels growth of excess tissues and benign tumors.

To schedule an appointment with Dr. Handley at North Texas Fibroids, please call (972) 640-9720 or submit a request online today!
