Adenomyosis radiofrequency ablation in Seoul: compared with every option before it is chosen

Adenomyosis radiofrequency ablation in Seoul is available at Trinity Women's Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, about a minute from Exit 1 of Sinsa Station, where two female board-certified OB-GYN specialists with 20 and 15 years of specialist experience, Dr. Nan-hee Jeong and Dr. Ki-yeol Yang, see you from consultation to follow-up. For adenomyosis with painful or heavy periods, the doctor checks the extent of the lesion, uterine size, anemia and pregnancy plans, then compares medication, Mirena, HIFU, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and surgery. RFA treats the lesion with heat under ultrasound guidance while keeping the uterus; like fibroid RFA it is done under IV sedation, usually with same-day discharge. Trinity is a foreign-patient facility registered with Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare. An English-speaking coordinator answers directly on WhatsApp, before your trip and after you return home.

What to expect at Trinity

Who treats you

Two female board-certified OB-GYN specialists with 20 and 15 years of specialist experience, Dr. Nan-hee Jeong and Dr. Ki-yeol Yang, see you themselves, from the first examination to follow-up. Trinity is a foreign-patient facility registered with Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare.

How it is done

Adenomyosis spreads within the muscle of the uterus, so treatment is not decided by uterine size alone. Pain, bleeding and anemia, the extent of the lesion, your age and pregnancy plans are weighed together, and not every patient needs surgery.

Recovery

After RFA there may be temporary abdominal pain or a low fever as tissue breaks down. Pain, period flow and the lesion are followed up afterwards.
