Intermediate and long term clinical effects of uterine arterial embolization in treatment of adenomyosis
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) effectively treated dysmenorrhea in 82.4% and normalized excessive menstrual bleeding in 78 out of 93 patients, demonstrating good mid-to-long term efficacy for adenomyosis.

This study evaluated the intermediate and long-term clinical efficacy of uterine artery embolization in 189 patients diagnosed with adenomyosis. Researchers monitored changes in dysmenorrhea and menstrual volume over a mean follow-up period of 50 months, finding that 82.4% of patients with preoperative pain experienced clinical improvement. The treatment resulted in normal menstrual flow for most women, although nine patients eventually required hysterectomy due to ineffective or recurrent symptoms. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — specifically evaluating the mid-to-long term outcomes of uterine artery embolization as a therapeutic intervention for the condition.
