Adenomyoma treatment in Magdalena Contreras

An adenomyoma is a benign, that is, non-cancerous, growth made up of a mixture of glandular and muscular tissue. It can appear in various organs, frequently in the uterus or the gallbladder.

How it is detected: it often causes no discomfort and is discovered on imaging tests; in other cases it can be associated with symptoms depending on the organ affected.

When to review it? With findings on an ultrasound or another test, or persistent symptoms in the area, it is worth clarifying what it is.

Which specialist evaluates it? It depends on its location: a gynecologist when it affects the uterus, or a gastroenterologist or general surgeon in other cases, with support from the radiologist. A professional evaluation makes it possible to understand its nature and the appropriate follow-up.
