Dr. Naomi Whittaker explains the two types of adenomyosis and their differing impacts on fertility, revealing that the condition is often over-diagnosed on ultrasound. She emphasizes that surgeon selection is crucial for women with reproductive concerns, sharing concerning examples of unauthorized fallopian tube removals during surgeries.
• Diffuse adenomyosis is common in women who have had children and typically does not cause infertility
• Adenomyosis is often "over-called" on ultrasound as technology becomes more advanced
• Focal adenomyosis (adenomyomas) can cause infertility but are usually resectable with proper surgical techniques
• Choosing a fertility-friendly surgeon who respects reproductive goals is critical
• Proper surgical technique and tissue handling significantly impact fertility outcomes
• Patient autonomy and informed consent should always be respected during reproductive surgeries
