Focal Adenomyosis
What is Focal Adenomyosis?
Focal Adenomyosis is a gynaecological condition that primarily affects women under the age of 35.
It is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue into the muscular wall of the uterus, leading to severe pain during menstruation.
Understanding Focal Adenomyosis
Focal Adenomyosis is most common in young women in their early reproductive years. The primary symptom is severe menstrual pain that progressively becomes resistant to medication.
While all medications prescribed for this condition, including painkillers, Dienogest, and Leupride injections, can provide temporary relief, they do not offer a permanent cure. These medicines work by stopping periods, thereby reducing the associated pain, but they don’t treat the underlying condition.
While it’s rare, Focal Adenomyosis can sometimes be painless. However, most patients experience significant discomfort, particularly during their menstrual cycle.
Diagnosis of Focal Adenomyosis
The gold standard for diagnosing Focal Adenomyosis is ultrasound, performed by a specialized unit with expertise in this technique and disease mapping.
It’s also common for Focal Adenomyosis to coexist with endometriosis, another condition involving abnormal growth of endometrial tissue.
For the prevention of focal adenomyosis, our team usually takes this decision based on the nature of the surgery.
In some patients, less than 30% may require 3-6 months of continuous Oral Contraceptive Pills if there is a Peritoneal component of endometriosis which is associated with Focal Adenomyosis or if there is an Ovarian Endometriosis as well.
The remaining 70% don’t require any medicines to prevent recurrence.
Fertility Implications
Focal Adenomyosis is frequently associated with infertility and endometriosis. Patients facing fertility issues due to this condition should consult a fertility specialist in Mumbai.
Dr. Jay Mehta, an expert laparoscopic surgeon in India, is highly recommended for achieving excellent outcomes.
Treatment Options for Focal Adenomyosis
The patient’s pain level primarily decides the need for surgery in Focal Adenomyosis.
Those experiencing severe pain, particularly with Focal Adenomyosis larger than 3.5-4.0 cm, often require surgery.
3D laparoscopic surgery is the treatment of choice when performed by a well-trained surgeon.
Robotic surgery, at the moment, is expensive and doesn’t seem to enhance patient outcomes while getting operated on for Adenomyosis.
When performed by an expert, surgery for Focal Adenomyosis can enhance fertility and help patients with normal fallopian tubes conceive naturally.
However, the challenge lies in ensuring the optimal reduction of Adenomyosis while keeping the tubes intact. This requires the expertise of surgeons who are highly trained.
It’s crucial not to underestimate the impact of selecting the right doctor for adenomyosis treatment in India. The difference it can make is truly remarkable.
Patients should choose a doctor who specializes in fertility and 3D Laparoscopic surgery for Endometriosis and Adenomyosis for complete care.
Dr. Jay Mehta is a highly skilled & experienced fertility specialist & one of the best adenomyosis treatment doctors in Mumbai.
Post-Surgery Considerations & Recurrence
After surgery, some patients may need to take continuous oral contraceptive pills for 3-6 months to prevent a recurrence, especially if there’s a peritoneal component of endometriosis associated with Focal Adenomyosis or ovarian endometriosis.
However, the majority of patients (around 70%) do not require any medicines to prevent recurrence.
Recurrence of Focal Adenomyosis is possible
Focal Adenomyosis is a disease in the uterine muscle, and the muscle cannot be completely removed.
Utilizing specialized techniques such as Flap Reconstruction, at our clinic Dr. Jay Mehta has achieved recurrence rates of less than 2%, which is significantly lower than the routine rate of 30%, which is observed with less experienced surgeons.
This exemplifies the impact of skill and expertise in reducing the likelihood of recurrence in surgeries. Dr. Jay Mehta is a fertility specialist as well as one of the Best Adenomyosis doctors in Mumbai

I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Jay's exceptional support throughout my IVF journey. Dr Jay has been like God sent an Angel for us. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Dr. Jay was not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional but also someone who genuinely cared about my well-being.
From my first meeting, he was very clear transparent, and straightforward about my protocol, treatment line, and success rate. After two difficult IVF cycles that failed, I was beginning to lose hope.
However, Dr. Jay’s unwavering encouragement and meticulous care helped me stay positive and focused. Thanks to God and of course to his expertise and dedication, WE FINALLY ACHIEVED SUCCESS!!!!!

Dr Jay Mehta is the best Fertility doctor. I am glad to have IVF done with Jay sir.
This unit is very ethical and very honest at work. In my previous IVF cycle, I did not have embryos in Chennai. I was here and Dr and team had told me not to worry. I was given end to end transparency about my embryos and I was lucky to become pregnant in the 1st cycle here, though I was told that the success rate will be about 25 to 30%.
IVF space is competitive, but these guys don't do any Ads on Google. And still if you search, Dr Jay is ranked no.1. I was extremely impressed with that and I am happy that I took a call to travel to Mumbai from Chennai.
I am thankful to the entire team for handling my case nicely. And May God shower the team with his choicest blessings.
