What Is Adenomyosis Embolization?
3D Precision Guided Adenomyosis Embolization
3D Precision Guided Adenomyosis Embolization is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for adenomyosis that uses real-time image guidance to reduce blood flow to the affected uterine tissue, relieving symptoms without removing the uterus.
What Is Adenomyosis?
Adenomyosis occurs when endometrial tissue grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, causing it to thicken and enlarge, leading to painful, heavy periods and chronic pelvic pain. It most commonly affects women in their thirties and forties, though it can develop at any reproductive age.
Adenomyosis Treatment for Fertility
For women wishing to preserve their uterus and fertility, embolization offers a meaningful non-surgical option that relieves symptoms while keeping the uterus fully intact. By reducing blood supply to the affected tissue, it can also help improve the uterine environment for reproductive health.
Why Consider Adenomyosis Embolization?
Mild adenomyosis treatment through embolization avoids the finality of hysterectomy, with no general anaesthesia, no large incision, and a recovery of one to two weeks. It is particularly well suited to women who are still in their reproductive years or wish to keep all future options open.
Do You Have These?
Signs and Symptoms of Adenomyosis
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you may have adenomyosis. A pelvic ultrasound or MRI can help confirm the diagnosis and guide adenomyosis treatment in Pakistan.
Severely painful or cramping periods
Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
Chronic pelvic pain or pressure, not only during periods
An enlarged or tender uterus on examination
Pain during intercourse
Constipation or rectal pressure
Pain during intercourse
Bloating or a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen
Fatigue and anaemia from ongoing blood loss
Difficulty conceiving or recurrent pregnancy loss
Sym note: Adenomyosis symptoms often overlap with those of uterine fibroids or endometriosis, which is why imaging is essential for an accurate diagnosis. Prof. Dr. Imtiaz Ahmad will review your scans and symptoms carefully to determine whether adenomyosis treatment in Pakistan is appropriate for your case.
How Is It Diagnosed?
Pelvic Ultrasound
The first-line imaging investigation for adenomyosis, used to assess uterine size, texture, and any visible thickening of the myometrium.

MRI Pelvis
MRI is the most accurate method for confirming adenomyosis and distinguishing it from fibroids or endometriosis, providing detailed mapping before planning embolization.
Blood Tests
Routine bloods are taken to check for iron deficiency anaemia, which commonly develops in women with prolonged heavy periods, alongside a hormonal panel where the clinical picture warrants it.
Consultation with Dr. Imtiaz
A detailed, unhurried review of your imaging and symptoms to discuss adenomyosis treatment without surgery and explore all appropriate options for your individual case.
Available in Lahore & Karachi
Diagnostic imaging and adenomyosis embolization procedures are available at Farooq Hospital, DHA Lahore and OMI Hospital, Karachi. Online consultations are also available for patients worldwide.
How It Works
The Adenomyosis Embolization Procedure, Step by Step
The procedure takes place in a dedicated catheterisation suite where the radiologist works entirely under live fluoroscopic guidance, from the moment of access to the final confirmation of vessel closure.
Pre-Procedure Assessment
MRI, blood tests, and a detailed consultation are completed beforehand to confirm suitability and prepare you for the day. You will receive clear, straightforward instructions covering everything to expect before and during the procedure.

Local Anaesthesia Applied
The groin or wrist access point is numbed with local anaesthesia. Mild sedation is given throughout so you remain comfortable and conscious at all times.

Catheter Guided to the Uterine Arteries
A slim catheter travels through the vascular system under live fluoroscopic imaging to the uterine arteries on both sides. Dr Imtiaz confirms correct positioning before releasing any particles.

Embolization Particles Released
Tiny embolic particles block blood flow to the adenomyotic tissue, gradually reducing its activity. Heavy bleeding and pelvic pain typically improve progressively over the following weeks.

Here are experiences shared by patients who chose Prof. Dr. Imtiaz Ahmad for adenomyosis treatment without surgery.
”Adenomyosis had made daily life very difficult for me. The procedure took under two hours, I stayed one night, and within weeks the pain had gone entirely. It made a real difference to my quality of life and I only wish I had sought help sooner.
Nadia FKarachi, Pakistan
”My gynaecologist had recommended removing my uterus entirely. I wasn't ready for that, especially since we were still hoping to conceive. Prof. Dr. Imtiaz explained embolization as an alternative and I haven't looked back.
Ayesha RLahore, Pakistan
”The bleeding had been so heavy I was missing work every month. Within six weeks of the procedure the improvement was clear. I wish I had known this option existed years ago.

What is the best treatment for adenomyosis?
The best treatment depends on symptom severity and whether fertility preservation matters to you. For women who want to avoid hysterectomy, 3D Precision Guided Adenomyosis Embolization is a clinically recognised option that reduces blood flow to the affected tissue, relieving heavy bleeding and pelvic pain without removing the uterus.
Can adenomyosis be treated without surgery?
Yes. Adenomyosis treatment without surgery is available through uterine artery embolization, which targets the blood supply feeding the adenomyotic tissue. It requires no surgical incision, no general anaesthesia, and allows recovery within one to two weeks.
Can adenomyosis be cured permanently?
Adenomyosis is a chronic condition and no treatment, including embolization, guarantees permanent resolution in every case. However, embolization provides significant, lasting symptom relief for most patients, and the only definitive cure is hysterectomy, which permanently removes the uterus.
Is surgery necessary for adenomyosis?
Surgery is not the only option. Many patients achieve meaningful relief through adenomyosis treatment without surgery using embolization. Surgery, including hysterectomy, is generally considered when symptoms are severe and non-surgical treatments have not provided adequate relief.
What is the treatment for adenomyosis in Pakistan?
Adenomyosis treatment in Pakistan is available at Farooq Hospital, DHA Lahore and OMI Hospital, Karachi through Prof. Dr. Imtiaz Ahmad, who performs 3D Precision Guided Adenomyosis Embolization as a non-surgical alternative to hysterectomy.
Can adenomyosis be treated without removing the uterus?
Yes. Adenomyosis embolization preserves the uterus entirely. It is specifically designed as an alternative for women who do not wish to undergo hysterectomy, whether for personal, reproductive, or medical reasons
Does adenomyosis affect fertility?
Adenomyosis can affect fertility by altering the uterine environment and implantation conditions. Adenomyosis treatment for fertility through embolization may help improve the uterine environment by reducing adenomyotic tissue activity, though each patient’s fertility outlook should be discussed individually with both an interventional radiologist and a fertility specialist.
