Abstract

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of NovaSure system for dysmenorrhea and abnormal uterine bleeding of adenomyosis.

Methods: A retrospective analysis on 30 patients with adenomyosis, who treated by NovaSure, were carried out. We collected related clinical data before operation and collected postoperative information about dyemenorrhea, menstruation, anemia and uterine volume by visiting outpatient or telephone.

Results: All patients were followed up for 7 to 31 months after the operation. The relief rate of menstrual pain was 83.3%. All patients got obvious improvements in menstruation and anemia (P<0.05). After operation, uterine volume was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Only one case received intervention in 2 years (3.3%).

Conclusion: NovaSure can relieve symptoms of menorrhagia and alleviate dysmenorrhea symptoms. It is a new way for the treatment of uterine adenomyosis.
