Adenomyosis is a commom gynecological disease, which affects women from 30 to 50 years old with the symptoms of dysmenorrhea or menorrhagia. In the past, we always use hysterectomy to treat patients even young women, but now after years of clinical research,we found that the technique of laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion (LUAO) combined with uterine-vaginal nerve blockade would have a good near- and long-term effects on patients with adenomyosis who wish to preserve the uterus.
