Microwave Ablation Therapy for Adenomyosis & Adenomyoma in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

Microwave Ablation Therapy for Adenomyoma & Adenomyosis (MWA) in Kolkata, West Bengal, India

Nov, 8

Adenomyosis and Adenomyoma are two gynecological conditions that can significantly affect a woman’s quality of life. They often cause chronic pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and infertility. Traditional treatments, including hormonal therapy and hysterectomy, may not be suitable for all women—especially those who wish to preserve their uterus or future fertility.

In recent years, Microwave Ablation Therapy (MWA) has emerged as an innovative, uterus-sparing, and highly effective treatment option for adenomyosis and adenomyoma. Among the pioneers of this advanced treatment in Eastern India is Dr. Sankar Dasmahapatra, a senior gynecologist and laparoscopic surgeon based in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, known for offering the best adenomyosis treatment in India.

Understanding Adenomyosis and Adenomyoma

Adenomyosis occurs when the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows into the muscular wall (myometrium). This results in an enlarged uterus, painful periods, and abnormal bleeding.

Adenomyoma, on the other hand, refers to a localized nodular form of adenomyosis—essentially a benign tumor composed of both glandular and muscular tissue within the uterus.

Both conditions can lead to:

Severe menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea)
Heavy or prolonged periods (menorrhagia)
Pain during intercourse
Infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss

While hormonal medications may temporarily relieve symptoms, they rarely offer long-term solutions. Many women seek effective treatments that avoid hysterectomy and allow them to retain reproductive function — this is where Microwave Ablation Therapy (MWA) has proven transformative.

What is Microwave Ablation Therapy (MWA)?

Microwave Ablation Therapy is a minimally invasive, non-surgical technique used to treat adenomyosis and adenomyoma by generating controlled heat energy through microwaves.

This energy selectively destroys the abnormal tissue while preserving the surrounding healthy uterine muscle. The procedure offers the benefits of precision, safety, and faster recovery — making it a superior alternative to major surgeries like hysterectomy or open myomectomy.

MWA has become increasingly popular in advanced gynecological centers across Asia and Europe. In India, Dr. Sankar Dasmahapatra is among the few specialists experienced in this high-end technique, offering successful outcomes for women suffering from adenomyosis and adenomyoma in Kolkata and across India.

How Microwave Ablation Works

The principle behind MWA is simple yet sophisticated. It uses microwave energy (at around 2.45 GHz frequency) delivered through a specially designed thin needle or probe that is inserted directly into the adenomyotic tissue under ultrasound guidance.

Mechanism of Action:

Insertion of the Probe: The doctor inserts a fine microwave antenna into the adenomyotic area under real-time ultrasound monitoring.
Microwave Energy Emission: The antenna emits microwaves that rapidly heat and coagulate the targeted tissue.
Ablation and Shrinkage: The abnormal endometrial glands and surrounding fibrotic tissues are destroyed.
Restoration: Over the next few months, the ablated tissue gradually shrinks, reducing pain, bleeding, and uterine volume.

The treatment usually takes 30–60 minutes and is performed under local or mild anesthesia. Most patients can return home within a few hours — making it a truly day-care procedure.

Step-by-Step Procedure of MWA for Adenomyosis & Adenomyoma

1. Diagnosis and Imaging:
Before the procedure, Dr. Sankar Dasmahapatra performs detailed evaluations including transvaginal ultrasound and MRI to determine the size, type, and depth of adenomyosis.

2. Pre-Procedure Counseling:
Patients receive complete guidance on what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.

3. Local Anesthesia and Monitoring:
The procedure is conducted under local or light sedation to ensure comfort.

4. Microwave Ablation:
Using ultrasound guidance, a microwave probe is carefully inserted into the target lesion. Controlled microwave energy is then delivered for a few minutes, ablating the affected area.

5. Post-Procedure Recovery:
After observation for a few hours, patients can usually return home the same day. Most experience mild cramping or discomfort for a day or two.

6. Follow-up:
Regular follow-ups are scheduled to assess recovery and reduction in symptoms. MRI after 3 to 6 months often shows significant shrinkage of the adenomyotic tissue.

Benefits of Microwave Ablation Therapy (MWA)

MWA offers multiple advantages over traditional surgical or medical approaches:

Uterus-Preserving Treatment: No need for hysterectomy, making it ideal for women wishing to conceive.
Minimally Invasive: No large cuts or stitches; performed through a fine needle.
Quick Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities within a day or two.
Reduced Blood Loss: Since there is no surgical incision, bleeding is minimal.
High Success Rate: Significant reduction in pain and menstrual bleeding in over 90% of patients.
Cost-Effective: Compared to major surgeries, MWA is more affordable with shorter hospital stay.
No Need for Long-Term Hormonal Therapy: Avoids side effects of medications like weight gain, mood changes, or bone loss.
