Abstract
Female patient, 42 years old, had dysmenorrhea for 5 years, progressive aggravation for 3 years, increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual period, and fatigue. She still felt obvious pain with oral painkillers during menstrual period, which seriously affected her life and work. She went to gynecology outpatient department of our hospital a few years ago, and ultrasonography showed adenomyosis. She was treated conservatively with medication, but relapsed after drug withdrawal and had liver and kidney function damage. The patient resisted hysterectomy and expected to retain the uterus. She visited the interventional radiology department to consult uterine artery embolization.
