Abstract:
Adenomyosis (ADS) is a common benign disease in women of childbearing age. The main symptoms are dysmenorrhea, increased menstrual volume, uterine enlargement and infertility. In recent years, with the younger age of ADS patients and the adjustment of fertility policy, the treatment of fertility preservation has gradually attracted attention. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation has the characteristics of non-invasive, high accuracy and repeatability, which better preserves the integrity of uterine structure and function, and shows advantages in the treatment of ADS with fertility preservation. HIFU ablation significantly improves clinical outcomes as well as pregnancy outcomes in patients with ADS, and increasing the ablation rate of HIFU ablation for ADS lesions is more beneficial to these outcomes. In addition, HIFU ablation has some advantages in terms of fertility preservation compared with other minimally invasive treatments. This article reviewed the clinical application and research of HIFU ablation for ADS fertility preservation.
